Take a look under the pedal box, there's a large wire wound spring which pulls the pedals back up.

Look at how the working clutch pedal is sprung, it is the same for the brake pedal.

I've got a couple of pedal boxes here where the grease on the pedal shafts is basically gone and the springs have lost their 'springyness' to the point where the pedals just stay where you put them - no cylinders connected!
