The clutch/brake pedal was a little more involved and took a little more time and effort. The same process was used in that we soaked the assembly in Evapo-Rust first, cleaned with hot soapy water and then sealed it. The pedal assemblies were blasted and then sealed after first dipping in black lacquer paint. The inspection marks were all replaced exactly as found. Many hours restoring this part which again is why restorations are expensive if you want them done right.

After posting these pictures a very observant reader pointed out to me that the original clutch/brake pedal pads are different than these, what I thought were very nice reproductions and were missing the boarder around them. So now the search is on to find mint original or NOS brake/clutch pedal pads with the small boarder around them. This is the kind of critiquing that I promote on this site as it is how we all learn so thank you for that input.
