A pedal bracket for a vehicle, the pedal bracket having a base plate section consisting of a synthetic resin, is configured in such a manner that noise in an engine compartment, the noise entering from the mounting portion of the pedal bracket into the vehicle interior, is reduced using a simple method without causing an increase in the number of parts and an increase in working man-hours. Holding sections (34) are provided to the back surface of a base plate section (30) so as to protrude from the back surface and so as to be in close contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of spacers (36). A portion of the back surface of the base plate section (30), the portion excluding the holding sections (34) and facing a dash panel (12), is provided with a sound absorption structure (60) having a large number of closed-end holes (58). As a result of this configuration, noise in an engine compartment, the noise entering from the mounting portion of the pedal bracket (14) into a vehicle interior, can be appropriately reduced. The base plate section (30), which is provided with the holding sections (34) and the sound absorption structure (60), is integrally formed using a synthetic resin material. Consequently, the pedal bracket can be configured at low cost without causing an increase in the number of parts and an increase in working man-hours. |
