The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop refurb brake and clutch mount

I have just finished wire brushing the prehistoric dirt and most of the rust from my 1946 truck brake and clutch pedals and the mount assembly. The brake pedal is still mounted on its pivot point (axel/bushing?). I have considered droping it into a bucket of Prep-N-Etch (phosphoric acid) prior to painting but have wondered it that is really a good idea considering the exposed clutch pivot point and the concealed brake pivot point. Does any one have some thoughts on this?

You might consider setting up an electrolysis bath. It will remove all the dirt, paint and convert the rust in a similar way as the phosphoric acid.

Here is a link to one of my tractor buddies site where it is explained:

Fit's electrolysis page.

Bob is it possible to get a photo of your brake and clutch mount? I am in the process of putting mine back together.

I will see what I can do tomorrow.

I have posted several pictures on the web, I think - have never tried this before:

If this does not give you what you need, let me know, I will try again. I also have some photos from 46chevy showing the actual fork to pedal linkage.
