Splitscreen Bus Brake Pedal Lever - 1955-67 (LHD)

This brake pedal lever is a high-quality replacement part designed for Left Hand Drive Volkswagen Splitscreen Buses manufactured between March 1955 and July 1967. Located under the cab floor, this lever links the brake pedal inside the vehicle to the brake pushrod and front-mounted linkage system, making it a critical component of the braking mechanism.

Over decades of use, the original lever is prone to wear at the pivot points, corrosion, elongation of the linkage holes, and general fatigue. Wear in this lever can cause spongy pedal feel, delayed brake response, or excessive free play in the pedal—problems that significantly affect braking performance and safety.

This reproduction lever is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring correct geometry, mounting point alignment and smooth operation once installed. Designed exclusively for LHD Splitscreen Buses, it replaces the factory brake pedal lever used during this entire mid-1950s to mid-1960s production period.

Ideal for restorations, mechanical rebuilds, and brake overhauls, this lever restores precise pedal-to-linkage movement and helps return braking performance to original levels.
