1975 914 - one thing leads to another!
While working on brakes, I found rust in the recessed area of the driver's floor pan where the pedal braket is bolted down. Apparently moisture has gathered or sat in this low area of the floor pan. I'm going to use a small metal brush to remove as much rust as possible. I'd appreciate advice on any products I could use to remove the remaining rust, and products I could use to coat the area to prevent further oxidation at this location. Thanks, Robbie |

If your pedal cluster has not been rebuilt ever, then it probably has plastic bushings in it. At some point those crack and break. The brake fluid causes them to swell. There is a metal replacement kit for $13 or so that will improve all of that. It takes about an hour or so to fix, or you can buy a pretty shiny one from PMB (shea).
I just sprayed it with some rustoleum type product.
