Abstract
A pair of parallel ears (32) extend upwardly from a base (22) to pivotally support a pedal (20). A mounting plate (36) includes a mounting portion (42) for attachment to a vehicle and a raised tongue (44) extending from a raised tunnel portion (48) for receiving a projection (46) of the base (22). The raised tongue (44) is narrower than the pivot distance between the ears (32) for extending between the ears (32). A slot (40) is defined by the mounting plate (36) with a bolt extending through the slot (40) from the projection (46) of the base (22) for fixing the operational position. The structure allows the assembly to be mounted in a wide variety of vehicles and fixed in an operating position dependent upon the space in the vehicle and fixed in that operating position for all further vehicle operation.
