Manual/Power Brake question
Just got around to restoring my pedals and found my manual brakes pushrod clevis was mounted in the lower hole on the pedal which I am sure is wrong. As such, I believe I have the wrong stop light switch bracket. I have the one in the top picture and believe I need the one in the bottom picture. Am I correct and if so, would anyone converting to power from manual like to trade brackets. Thanks!
Always amazing to find where Bubba has been on these cars.

Here's the differences-
A picture is worth a thousands words...and it's a lot faster than I can type!!!
manual(unrestored) -power is the restored one

Thanks Richard, confirms my suspicion. My car was converted from power to manual using a plate from Master Power Brakes to put the manual master in the right place. Don’t know why they wouldn’t have moved the pushrod to the top hole. Also missing the orange spring and a couple of the plastic bushings. I think I do have the correct manual pushrod but who knows. Wondering the difference in pedal feel moving to the top hole. Thanks for the pics!
