Brake Pedal Assy: Description and Operation

Brake Pedal and Bracket
The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to the brake master cylinder. When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is forced from the brake master cylinder through the steel tubing and flexible hoses to the front and rear brake calipers.

The brake pedal bracket provides a mounting location for the clutch pedal and clutch pedal master cylinder for vehicles with manual transmissions. The bracket also provides a mounting location for the speed control deactivator switches, stoplamp switch, and on vehicles with manual transmissions, the starter interlock switch, mounted just below the clutch.
