Back At It

Light day today. Cleaned up the brake pedal assembly and starting in on the steering column.

Got busy on the brake pedal assembly, and remembered I needed a ‘before’ pic. This is bringing me back to the days when the Mach 1 was like this.
Caved in a took it apart (just one bolt and slip the pivot shaft out). Made it a lot easier to get through the inside surfaces of the main bracket without the pedal in the way.
It’s really not as bad as it looks. I hit it with the wire cup brush, anyway. I’ll take it apart tomorrow and see what I can do with it. At least the tilt seems to work (unlike the Mach 1’s column when I first got it).
Quick and dirty coat of Duplicolor Black Engine Enamel. Give it a little bit of time to dry and put it back together.
… And, we’re done. Just gotta get a new brake light switch (maybe… I can’t remember if I left the original one in the Jeep or not). The pedal rubber is actually not too bad, either. I might just get a new one, though.
