brake pedal

[Charter]

I replaced the bushings for the brake pedal. Some thing is missing. the bushings pop out when the bolt moves one way or the other. The replacement bushings are only for the pedal frame. I cut down the original bushing to fit just the pedal and made the spring bushing from a paint can cap. I am thinking a piece of hose and a flat washer could solve it as a temp fix. What is missing to prevent the bolt from moving side to side ?

Is this the wrong bolt ? It's a 1/2 inch to long or is there something missing ?

Maybe 57s are different, but on my 59 Ford, the brake pedal pivots on a steel pin that goes thru the pedal bracket, and the brake pedal, and has a clip on the end. When I converted the 59 from an automatic to a 4 speed, using factory clutch linkage, the pin is removed, as the clutch pedal has a pin attatched to it, which takes place of the seperate pin from the automatic. Maybe somebody jury rigged some home made affair for the brake pedal.
