pedals should now be securely mounted and travel through their complete arc. Be sure to install
the rubber pedal covers at this time. See Fig 3
4) Assemble the McLeod master cylinder to the mounting plate with supplied screws and lock
washers. Tighten screws securely. Install the mounting plate/McLeod master cylinder assembly,
passing the pushrod through the firewall. Re-install the factory brake master cylinder onto the
mounting bracket. Install washers and nuts. Tighten all four fasteners securely.
5) Assemble the rod end attached to the push rod to the new pedal with the supplied hardware in
this order……bolt, flat washer, rod end on the end of the push rod, pedal, flat washer, lock washer
and nut. Tighten nut securely. Remove the heavy pedal return spring from the pedal if present.
Swing the pedal through its range of motion to be certain there is no interference with any
component including wires and or hoses. See Figure 3.
