Donor for brake pedal??

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good junkyard donor for a brake pedal. I would like something that bolts to the firewall. I can add bracing if need be and I will be reinforcing the firewall. I would rather pull one than buy one.

Thanks in advance.

 

I have used one from a 78 Camaro in a '50 F-1, one from about the same year Olds Cutl*** in a 38 chevy and one from a '90 or so front wheel drive gm midsize car in my '50 Chevy. Used the attached booster in each one.

 

Early Falcons and Mustangs have hanging pedals. HRP

 

It is a matter of measuring. I am using a 65 galxie pedal system in my 54 bel air. Measure what you have , go to wrecker and look around

 

I have used the Camaro and Cutl*** parts as stated above.

 

Surprisingly, a 90's Subaru Legacy has a really nice hanging pedal ***embly that bolts to a flat firewall. I have one on my Austin sedan, along with the Subaru master, and it looks much like an aftermarket Wilwood. Only issue is the wide pedal, which I cut off and weded on a small round pedal. Mine was $35 with the master.

 

+1 on the Subaru setup, that's what I'm using in my '52 Plymouth build.

 

Good info. from all so far, got to be a bunch of those Subaru's around. Any more ideas?

 

I went to a local u-pull it junk yard a couple of weeks ago and picked up a pedal and bracket ***embly from a late 70's early 80's El Camino, would be the same as all the metric GM cars from that era, Malibus, Cutl*** and Regals. This one is going into a 42 Chevy I am building

 

I used a pedal ***embly out of a 83 monte carlo in my 52 F-1 . I had to modify the firewall because it dosent mount flat but it wasn't to difficult . Works great and has a nice small booster . Not a lot of room in them F-1 s . Good luck

PS I cut the big pad off and straightened the pedal arm to get a little more length, then added the stock round break pad off the F-1 . Of yourcar wasn't set up for a fire wall mounted pedal you will need to beef up were your new ***embly mounts. What are you putting the pedal in?

 

If you can match the pedal ***embly to the master cylinder that you are using, it may simplify the installation.

 

I used the whole ***embly from the Legacy on my Austin g***er; pedal, master, booster, etc. I eventually went to a big cam that wouldn't support the power master, so I had to eliminate it. It required me to build a adapter plate with master bolt pattern on one side, and firewall pattern on the other, but still works great! I did lengthen the pedal arm to retain good leverage.

 

Ok 1st what brake combo are you using? disc/drum , drum/drum, disc/disc? late 80's - mid 90's Jeep Cherokee have a good hanging pedal that bolt through the wall,
