  • The photo to the left shows the brake pedals in the as-cast condition, before the in-gate is trimmed off.

  • After casting and trimming the brake pedal is checked for dimensional tolerances and prepared for two finishing operations --

    --  Heat-treating to the required T6 condition

    --  Machining -- a reaming operation for the pivot hole and a rough drill and finish ream for the cross hole in the linkage pocket.
