'65 & '66 T-Bird disc brake pedal pad

Recently converted my '65 Galaxie to disc brakes. Noticed that the '66 and '67 Galaxie with disc brakes uses the same style brake pedal pad as the '65 and '66 T-Bird.
A bunch of the T-Bird catalogs sell a reproduction of the rubber pedal pad. Ordered one from Mac's. To my surprise the T-Bird pedal pad bolts on to the brake pedal bracket instead of slipping over the pedal. I asked Mac's how I can remove the metal bracket and they said the rubber pad is molded onto the metal backing plate.
I've attached pictures of the reproduction pedal pad.
Can someone with a '65 or '66 T-Bird tell me the pedal does bolt to the bracket?

The factory manual for my '64-'66 bird shows a bracket attached to the back of the pad that gets bolted to the brake arm. I can't get to my cars till spring. Hope this helps. Ron W
