ABSTRACT:
A modular pedal assembly (10) includes a support base (12) for attachment to a vehicle structure (14), a clutch pedal arm (16), and a brake pedal arm (18). A first bearing block (20) rotatably supports the clutch pedal arm (16) for rotation about an axis and a second bearing block (22) rotatably supports the brake pedal arm (18) for rotation about the same axis. A support interconnects the clutch (16) and brake (18) pedal arms for rotation about the axis. The pedal assembly (10) further includes a connector (24) for connecting the first bearing block (20) to the second bearing block (22) to define a pedal subassembly for attachment to the base (12). The connector (24) locates and maintains the first bearing block (20) at a pre-determined distance from the second bearing block (22) to ensure proper orientation for installation. The pedal subassembly is then fastened to the base (12) to form the pedal assembly (10). After installation the connector (24) takes up side to side play between the first (20) and second (22) bearing blocks and acts as a stiffener to provide additional structural support.
