Here's another idea for those who want something different (& cheap!).

Depending on when you price them, TCP gets $60-$99 for their aluminum pedal pads for vintage cars. I found another solution, that besides being cheaper, has an added advantage.

UPR Products sells aluminum pads to fit late-model Mustangs, with several different engraving options. Price? - Retail is under $50, and you can occasionally find them on Ebay under $40. The "added advantage"? The sets come with a dead pedal included! B)

The gas pedal is a perfect fit size-wise. The late model pedal is slightly curved, but that's easily fixed in about 10 seconds with a bench vise. The late model brake and clutch pedal bases are about 1/4" narrower than the vintage pedals - a quick trim and some black paint, and no one will ever know the difference.

The dead pedal just mounts right below the dimmer switch. I made 4 1-1/8" spacers to hold the pedal up off the carpet, at the same height as the dimmer. Works great for stretching your legs on road trips and/or a nice bracing point for holding yourself in the twisties.

from me on this mod - it's cheap, it's easy, and it's different!!!


Note: Rubber cap added to dimmer switch since this picture was taken.

 

RICE!

Just kidding BlingBoy.

You're gonna have to do something with that parking brake handle now. It look so....stock.

 

Center-hump mounted E-brake has been on my "things to ponder" list for a while now.....

 

How about a beer tap handle for the e-brake? That would really look good.

 

Fully functional, of course!

 

Did you move the dimmer up?

 

Nope, left it in the same spot.

With your foot flat on the dead pedal, it sits flush. You have consciously tip your toes to activate it.

Instead of a functional beer tap for an emergency brake, put a new windshield wiper bag under the hood, run the pump like normal, but instead, run the hoses through the dash to the glove box. Put in an emergency flasher switch in the glove box for the new pump. Fill the new bag with your favorite hard liquor that you like on to drink on the rocks (i.e., Southern Comfort, Single Malt Scotch, or whatever your taste) and serve mixed drinks on the road!

The big bonus you might ask? No open container in the car!

Believe it or not, but I knew a guy in college with a 71 coupe that had exactly this setup....

 

If you are too busy for this, I'll be happy to ponder it for you. I'm good at it

Hmmm, I guess you could also run that hose to the driver's side right? Perhaps some Bailey's Irish Cream with coffee, or some other warm drink. Hmmm.

 

Looks great Bob!

However, your floor mat snake needs to get with the program. All three pedal snakes have agreed to go to the left.

 

Tell me about the vinyl donut around the dimmer switch. Is that part of the carpet? IIRC, I had to cut my carpet and poke the dimmer through.

 

Came with the carpet set (from ACC). Seems to be commonly missing though. The rubber switch cap came from a really nice Ebay seller...

 

So you slice the carpet and then slip the donut on? Interesting.

I have the rubber cap. Only correct on deluxe interior cars ya know. B)

It's the CT in me that makes me point things like that out.

 

Ya must have missed my auction for that part... I may actually have an extra floating around that I could supply sometime after my car is back on the road and I do my full garage clean for the season.
