The system is based on the solid attachment of a reinforcement part (3) on the corresponding brake pedal (2) of a vehicle, the part (3) being provided with flexible lateral tongues (8) which determine grooves (9) on which a connection part (4) is positioned and is anchored after a 90 DEG turn, over which is retained the ball (19) corresponding to the push rod (1) which connects the brake pedal (2) with the brake drum of the automobile. The connection part (4) is provided with an orifice (12) for passage of the ball (19) of the rod (1) and with elastic tabs (15), which retain said ball (19) once the orifice (12) has been passed, the ball (19) being positioned in a cap-shaped concavity (5) belonging to the reinforcement part (3). The 90 DEG turn in either sense of the part (4) with respect to the part (3) allows the easy assembly and disassembly of the rod (1) and the separation of the brake pedal (2) from it to allow its interchangeability.
