very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 I am working on a 69 conv. I am trying to mount my 69 column to a 70 power brake support. It appears I am going to have to cut the pedal support and fabricate a way to add the hook looking "bracket" that is used to attach the 3rd bolt on the column to the 69 pedal support. Has anyone done this? Am I missing something? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim42 13 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Very: You have me confused with what you are doing. The column passes through the pedal support and are attached under the dash and on the floor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Perhaps I should rephrase the question. Can you use a 70 power brake pedal and support on a 69? If so what modifications would be required. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RestoRod 10 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I believe the flange that mounts to the dash has a different pattern or shape from the 70 version because of the change in steering columns. Here's a 69 one of Fleabay to compare, just enlarge the picture. Might give you a better idea of what kind of adjustments you'll need. I haven't done it myself but am sure you could make it work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-Mustang-Mach-1-Cougar-XR7-DISC-BRAKEPEDALSUPPORT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5acddcc6e5QQitemZ390000854757QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 136 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 The flange to the column is different. I have a 70 bracket laying around and had compared it to my 69 bracket I'm rebuilding. I don't have a 70 column so I don't know what its interface looks like. I'm sure it can be made to work depending on your fabrication skills. Keep in mind the difference in brake pedal that, from the best I can tell, are different based on whether its power or manual brakes. Either set up can physically use either pedal they just pivot from a different location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks. I have compared the 2 and they are quite different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 RacerX My plan is to go ahead and make the modifications, I just hope the angle of the column base and the firewall are close. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf2U 136 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 The angles should be very close, as the change in the mounting brackets were to allow the key/steering lock in the column not the dash for the 70 an up models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
