Be careful SOMETIMES when thinking about bending Ford brake and clutch pedals. MOST Ford pedals are forged steel with an 'oval' cross section, and will readily bend, especially when heated, just like heating and bending 'forged' Ford spindle arms. But there are a few Ford pedal arms (some '33, '34 and '39) that have an I-beam cross section, which are cast. They will break if you try to bend one of the I-beam shaped pedal arms. This '39 set below has a mixture of a 'forged' oval-section BRAKE arm and a 'cast' I-beam type CLUTCH arm. DD
