I had taken a ton of photos of disassembly, but now that I've got it back together, something isn't right to me. There are two springs which assist in returning the brake and clutch pedals to their non depressed states. The brake pedal stops when the plunger reaches the back of the master cylinder. What stops the the clutch pedal? Right now the lower half of the pedal is coming to rest against my freshly painted cross member!!! (and taking paint off with it!) <Pedal resting on crossmember> <From top> Does it rest against the the cab when the cab is there??

It's Section 5, Sheet 2 of my assembly manual and shows no rubber, or any sort of stop.
My cross member shows no sign of wear where it's hitting now - so I wondered if its an adjustment issue.
Regardless, anyone able to shed some light?

So the cab is what stops it. Where did you pick those bumpers up?
Mark | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | I picked up the bumper at classic parts ...link... I re-used the original on the clutch and added A new one to brake The new one didn't fit well and I had to remove material to get it to fit the arm Your right. Once you get the cab on I think you'll find the rod won't travel far enough to hit the crossmember. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | see FL116, it's the one for the TF years Bill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 575 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 575 | | | |
