I had to remove my park brake pedal assembly today to reweld the release lever. I thought since the assembly was pretty clean (other than my welding) I'd snap a few pics and note some things about it for those who want or need the info.
This is a 69 13E San Jose car.
Things of note:
Attachment 1
- Green arrow: White paint mark at top corner of black on the release mechanism.
- Yellow arrow: Overspray
- Blue arrow: Double tape line. The pedal itself appears to either have been painted prior to assembly or when in the applied position. Paint coverage on the back side does not cover the rolled edges. Then it looks like they painted the bottom edge (where the bumper attaches) while the assembly was attached to the car. The bolt nearest the yellow arrow coming in from the left side of the picture has black overspray on it. Overspray on pedal is very dry and rough to the touch. Rubber bumper is oversprayed.
Attachment 2
- Park brake warning switch.
Attachment 3
- Close up of paint/overspray.
Attachment 4
Attachment 5
- Paint edge on bottom of assembly.
Attachment 6
Attachment 7
- FOMOCO stamp and maker's mark?
Attachment 8
Attachment 9
- Another view of overspray.
Thinking it out a bit more I would guess that the pedal and the release were painted before assembly and the bottom edge was an afterthought, done on the fly, which could be unique to this car or at least a rare occurrence.
