Jim,
Check the clevis pin and the hole in the brake pedal itself. Sounds odd but
the free play from wear can cause a thump which reverberates through the
firewall making it real tough to tell where the sound comes from. Not bad
things to check anyway as the pins are pretty soft and get worn after 45
years. You will also be able to validate why you will never qualify as a
contortionist!
Warm regards,
Tracy Drummond Gang Warily !
