I am needing a definitive answer, please. Doing a J52 conversion. Using all GM pieces. I installed the striker on the pedal correctly. Adjusted the switch. The pedal does not rest on the rubber bumper any longer. It is about 1/4” away. Thought to myself , I’ll adjust the rod / clevis. Then I read this from a “Camaros.net” post, Nov. 30th 2015, quoting respected Camaro tweaker, David Pozzi, saying, “The photo above is mine. My camaro was converted from manual brakes to power brakes. The mechanic failed to remove the bumper. Normal power brakes do not use the rubber bumper, the power booster controls pedal movement to the rear.” Replying to pic of up under a dash.
The OP was wanting to know if the brake light striker became the “stop”?
When I dis assembled my 69 SS, I noted that there was no rubber stop on the brake pedal.
I am hoping someone, here, can elaborate on the following:
1) should the rubber stop not be there, meaning should I remove it?
2) if it should not, as Pozzi and my own car’s evidence suggest, then how is the pedal height set?
Basically, should I leave my pedal height were it is ( about 1/4” away from rubber stop)? Pedal seems to have adequate height? Maybe a few pics from original cars would help. Just trying to get it right.
It seems to me, if I did adjust the pedal to touch the stop, I would not have enough clearance to mount the brake switch.
Note the setup being used was a complete untouched J52 removed from an operable donor car that was converted to a pro touring.
