I believe that they were the same pedal. As the discs were factory boosted, I think Ford OZ saw no reason to make many types. ( they were real tight arses back then...)Rocket989 wrote:Hey Bruce - Did the PB & MB pedals use the same pivot point location? In many (most?) cars of that era the pedals were different!
In '73 when I got my first Falcon ( '65) they had 9" drums all round. Un boosted. I found a donor Fairmont model and bolted the discs and booster onto my car without changing over the brake pedal box.
My current Falcon, being the '66 Fairmont model had factory boosted discs and has the same hard unresponsive pedal feel when there is no boost being provided ( ie engine stopped).
That does raise the point that I may explore with my Aussie colleagues on a local forum whether there was a different pedal assembly, however I have never seen or heard of the difference. I do have a pedal box from a manual drum brake Falcon utility ( read Ranchero ) in the shed. I wonder if the differences if any are noticeable ??
PS I've since swapped the 4 lug brake rotors and calipers from the car to those from a '67 Fairlane in order to obtain 5 lug . The V8 rotors are slightly larger in diameter but they are thicker with better calipers. Still two opposing pistons.

PS I checked on the OZ forum and the parts catalogue has the same pedal box for the entire '60 to '66 Ford falcon range . Our discs were always boosted. If un-boosted then perhaps a different pivot point.
