Rear brake pedal - is mine correct?

[stevewhitt]

Hi
I have a suspicion that my rear brake pedal is not correct for a 1944 w/ng.

I have attached pictures of mine together with a picture from the parts book. I think the clue maybe that my pedal does not come anywhere near the 'buffer stop' which should be attached to the bottom of the primary case.

My primary case is steel.

I would welcome thoughts from those with experience or perhaps own the correct type.

Cheers

Yours has been modified, possibly from an Ariel one or another make entirely. The originals are made in 2 parts, the arm at the back and the pedal part, after machining they were brazed together at various angle to suit different machines. In all cases that rear arm was a stamping or forging. You may find a casting number somewhere on the pedal that will allow you to identify it. The rigid pedal started in 1936 and was not changed until 1950 and will be marked E9/579

Thank you Roger, that explains it very well.

Hello Steve,
This is how a WNG pedal looks, the point where it stops against the bolt under the clutch has a dent as you can see.
I dont know if thats wear or if it is meant to be like that.
the whole arm has some curve in it , the short arm sits almost in line with the long arm.
the pedal's position is more or less under the clutch dome.

Thanks Vincent

I found one on Ebay, it also has the notch in the top, now on its way to me.
