ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing a brake pedal comprises the steps of generating a continuous tubular member (18) by pultruding a thermoplastic or B staged thermosetting plastic resin through a die (16), attaching cross members (26 and 28) to the continuous tubular member (18), cutting the continuous tubular member (18) into segments (30 . . . 30.sup.N) of predetermined length, and deforming each segment (30 . . . 30.sup.N) to substantially define a pedal (60). The resin carries strands (14) and the segments (30 . . . 30.sup.N) are exposed to heat and pressure to permanently set the shape of the pedal (60). The cross members (26 and 28) are used to pivotally secure the brake pedal (60) to a vehicle in its installed position and also to connect the brake pedal (60) to an input member for a master cylinder or brake booster assembly.
