Brake pedal to master cylinder connection

Hello,

I'm a new member who now has 2 non running '65 CJ5's that I'm trying to make into one running CJ5. There is a huge list of things wrong with each one, but the one I have chosen to be the runner is a Tuxedo park with 39,000 miles on it. My question today is in regard to the rod that connects the brake pedal to the master cylinder, and specifically, how does it attach to the master cylinder? On both jeeps, the end of the rod is simply rounded off, and my official Jeep service manual doesn't provide any pictures or diagrams to tell me how this is supposed to work, so I don't know if I'm missing pieces or just missing the point. I have attached a picture showing what I'm talking about. Any help or guidance on how to hook this up is appreciated. Thanks

 

This might help. (from my '59 CJ)
All of the piston and stuff is held in be the clip (#3)


The rod just sticks into the piston and is held in place by the pedal/linkage. Well technically the rubber boot holds it to some extent.

There is a small spring under the floor pan. I couldn't find a pic anywhere in the FSM.

It is still connected in this pic, although it wasn't intended to be a brake pic.

 

Wow, thanks. That clears it up, the linkage rod simply sits agains the piston on the master cylinder. Right now, because i have my floor pan removed, the brake pedal is able to swing back further than normal which allows the linkage rod to pull out from the piston and boot on the master cylinder. I really appreciate the pictures and diagrams. Thanks again.

 

nice documentation!
