Pedal Supporting Bracket and Link to Booster

[Sonny Crockett]

Ok, if you compare the two pictures I attached here, the first one shows how the rod is suppose to connect to the booster and the second one shows the current status. I assume what I have now will not work since it will fold when breaking unless it is stopped by the walls of the tube?

If you were driving with the "triple jointed" linkage in your picture that's quite scary. It likely puts excessive side thrust on components and works in cringe-worthy "kinked" orientation.

Your picture does not show a 2002 tii booster. What does your bracket look like - or a picture of the booster installed with the S38.

We have made new shafts

Thanks again for the support. I wrote the guy in the link from Friitzie and he answered me that the "open tube bracket" doesn´t match with the pancake style booster. In the link to the discussion about brake boosters and pedal bracket it is the opposite and they write that the open tube goes with the pancake booster. Can somebody help me and clarify which pedal bracket I should buy to the pancake booster?

My bracket is modified but I think it original was the closed version but my car has been to pieces so maybe somebody changed the bracket at some point...

In my car the T51 Ate brake booster was mounted to the pedal bracket which had the round, closed, tube.

Thank you Erik!

Can somebody confirm that the open tube doesn´t match with the T51 pancake booster?

Hello Sonny, in my 3.0 CS 1972 there is a pancake booster and a “open” tube pedal bracket. And it is original.

 

[Sonny Crockett]

Ok, thanks! Then it seems like the pancake booster fits to both and closed tubes. In the beginning there were questions if I had a serie I or II. Mine is a 2.5 CS manual from 1975.

Can we now conclude that the open tube will fit my car with pancake booster or is there something else that might fail?

Just want to double check before I buy this open tube to my car...

according the bmw part on internet for your car it should be http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E9/Europe/2.5CS-M30/1975/browse/pedals/pedals_supporting_bracket/

Note: I don’t see the closed tube bracket at all on the pictures. Even if I have select a CSi (?)

 

[eriknetherlands]

Drawings in (BMW) parts books typically never follow updates that won't affect fitment along the cars lifecycle.

E.g. If it was only changed because of cheaper production, then you have 2 or more 'shapes' or form of the same part, but still backward compatibility.

Hi all, and thank you so much for your support and help Through a link you sent I was able to buy a new pedal bracket. I mount it and it places my brake booster where I want it in the engine bay so all good so far.

On the other hand there are some new questions. As you can see from the pictures, on my old bracket there is this spring to push back the clutch (?) and as you can see it is suppose to be mounted as the second picture show, circled in yellow. On the new bracket there is nothing like this at all. At the same spot on the new one there is nothing. Could somebody help and explain this?

Factory e9 production never used these to my knowledge.
Possibly due to later production clutch masters eliminating the inside return spring?

Spare valve spring just in case?
Or allowing pedal to be used as footrest

Hello, and thank you. I got another reply so this part is probably not necessary.
