In answering a question from someone else about their brake pedal coming 

too

far back, I discovered that the Pantera has (or at least was suppose to

have) a brake pedal stop bracket.  This stop bracket appears to be 

redundant

in that the brake pedal height is controlled by the push rod adjustment 

and

the stop bracket is to be adjusted with 3/32 to 1/8 inch CLEARANCE.



>>>While working on my car last summer, I discovered this too.  This 

bracket is actually mounted on a pair of standoffs, but even so, mine is 

such that when it's fastened, it holds the pedal down about halfway, 

immobilizing the car!  And this is without the threaded adjuster even 

installed.



Something is AFU for sure; When I first saw it I had thought of using 

this for a brake light switch as you suggested, but methinks it will 

require some malletizing first... :>)
