Custom Mopar ????

[Torchie]

I too would like to congratulate you guys on the aniversary.
Out of curiosity, what's the measurements on the brake pedal from the pivot point on the mounting bracket to the master cylinder push rod and the pivot pion to the center of the foot pad?

The pivot point to the rod. I'm calling it 2". The end of the tape is sitting on top of the pivot pin
As for the other. I would say 13-1/2"
Hope this helps. If you need more let me know.
Thanks for the good wishes.
Torchie

Thank you Torchie.
Sometimes seeing the pieces apart makes it easy to see how to take them apart.

Thank you Torchie.

Agreed Mac. That’s usual my first stop in researching this stuff.
I still haven’t got mine off.
I’m not giving up though
I’m pretty sure this was some engineers idea of a funny joke.

I’m still here, Dozer.
This go around has been particularly hard on me as well as Mrs T , who has to watch all this nonsense.
My health care team is all hands on deck for this one.
I’m still hopeful.
Thanks for checking up on me.
Keep on keeping on.........

Stay strong and determined. I may be selfish but we need you around here. and if we do I know your family needs you more.

 

[Old Iron]

I know you're doing the things you're supposed to just keep it up

 

[BillM]

Good to hear from you again Torchie - I was wondering as well. Kenny's thoughts summed it up perfectly.

 

[MercuryMac]

Torchie, you listen to Kenny.

Thanks for the support gang.
Jon stopped by to check up on me and managed to get the knobs off the dash.
I took what pictures I could.
It takes a small bladed screwdriver. Really small.
When you look at the pics pay attention to the one that shows the back of the knob.
Notice the placement of the screw driver. It's behind that hook that sticks up/out.
That hook actually goes inside the chrome sleeve that covers the shaft. You push in towards the shaft and that allows the hook to clear the inner lip on the sleeve. Releasing the knob for the shaft as well.
At least it's the closest I can come to explaining it.
Sorry for the 2 blurry pictures. My phone doesn't do close ups well.
Thanks for stopping by.
Keep on keeping on......

How are you doing Torchie...? [S

 

[Old Stuff]

I will never cease to be amazed at how complicated some folks can make things. [S "Press fit" knobs anyone?

 

[Torchie]

Thank you to all of you that have been concerned about me.
I'm sorry I haven't been on here more often. I guess I'm just tired of only being able to post about my health BS and not on progress on the Dodge.
I have been doing a lot of parts searching and came across a set of new headlight buckets and trim rings for a 53 Chevy truck. $20. LOL Can't beat that price. They will work in the Dodge(Same size head lights.) and are made of steel.
The Stock Dodge's are aluminum and not in the best of shape. These are the perfect replacements.
I go for an Echocardiogram tomorrow(Weather permitting). Once we see the results we will have a better idea of what to do.
Ive been off the med that is causing the nausea and dry heaves for 5 weeks now. That's the amount of time it takes to leave your system. So that is getting better as well.
I've lost 118 pounds as of yesterday morning.
As my one Dr said quite wryly....."You are not overweight anymore."b
Thanks for checking up on me and I will do better keeping in touch.
Keep on keeping on.....
Torchie
p.s. The pics show me currently in the overalls I wore last October to my daughters wedding. "Suddenly. I'm just 1/3 the man I used to be."

 

[dutch]

good to see you`re amongst the living

 

[DozerII]

Wow Torchie, that's a helluva weight loss plan. Hope thing are good on your echo, I was supposed to go for the same test last Tuesday but it was freezing rain.

 

[Bamamav]

Congrats on the weight loss! It's got to feel better not lugging that extra around. Probably better on the ticker, too.

Don't worry about the updates, I just posted an update on mine this morning, first one since November. I've been a slacker for a while now, LOL.
