On the brake deal , on those old 66 Chevies I used to race , the manual m/c had a deep recess in them and a 3/8ths push rod going into it, and nothing else. I would always replace the brake pedal up stop rubber bumper with a 3/8ths bolt and double nut deal to keep the pedal from traveling too far.
On my 62 Tempest I'm putting together, I've got a flanged rod in the m/c , plus a split U shaped washer deal I made that's retained by the snap ring, plus a solid up- stop for the pedal, and also a 2" long rubber cup over all of it, as a 3rd backup .
I agree , it's way past time to stick your head up under that dash and see what you've got and how you could improve it.
Do it tonight!

Now that is funny, Mark.....it's probably really hurting Ken to smile as he reads this, but I'm sure he is....... WJ
