Yes
You may be missing a bump stop on the pedal support......
I shortened the MC pushrod on the racecar for better
heel-toeing, this left me with "slop"..I could pull the
brake pedal up. I fabricated a bumpstop for the pedal
to keep it down.
I don't recall what I made it out of, it might be a piece
of wood attached somehow to the pedal support......
