Default Brake pedal

Another probably obvious stupid question but what stops the brake pedal from flopping forwards?

if i rest it on the floor its too far foward, whats the reason for not having a support like the throttle and clutch?

Am i missing something? :S

Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

There's a limiting bolt that should be sticking out of the floor, supporting the brake pedal by a protrusion on its front face.

on the book pedals there is a tab that sticks out of the front of the pedal at the bottom.

put a bolt threw the floor (with a nut on either side) to line up with this tab then you have an adjustable stop

Ah ha. Makes sense now cheers. I was going to put something underneath there as a stopper, never thought of making it adjustable.

Where would I be without you guys.

Another job for tomorrow.

Mine's got the standard Sierra pedal box, and the brake switch (bayonet fit into the top of the pedal box) stops the pedal dropping right back.
