HELP!!!! Brakes, brakes, brakes

Okay here we go. The answer for me at least.

After tinkering about upside down trying to get the pedal out of the '73 Dart power disc brake car to swap into the '71 Dart that has the power booster and master out of the '73 now in it I decided to do some measuring.

I measured from the bulkhead to the back of the pedal arm straight out and then from the bulkhead to the front of the pedal arm where it would contact the brake switch. Did the same on the '71 and came up with 1/2" difference between the two cars. The pedal arm is the same measurement depth wise, just extends 1/2 more into the car. Real head scratcher that one. So, looked to me like just the pedal swap was not going to get me anywhere.

I then laid under the dash of the '71 I decided to take the bolt holding the bracket for the brake switch out and see if I can just drill a new hole in the brake switch bracket to come up with the difference in depth I'm getting. I loosen the bolt and the bracket starts to move.

Viola! The bracket adjusts. The bracket mount has slots in it to adjust the bracket where it needs to be. So, I adjusted the bracket up, made sure it turned the brake lights off and turned them on when the pedal was pushed and then tightened the bracket down.

DONE!

The silly and simple things eh?

Bled the brakes again, swapped the booster hose for some heavy duty power steering hose (heaviest I could find so hope it doesn't suck down, we'll see) and tested the brakes. Work well. Had the wife drive the car and she immediately commented on how much better the brakes were and how much better they stopped. As long as she is happy I'm happy.

Just thought I'd pass it on to anyone else that found themselves in the same boat.

Cheers
