Hello, I was just wondering if people had any pictures, thoughts and/or opinions on fixing up the pedal area. Is there someone who has dimension of the piece thats bolts (?) on to the bottom side of the floor pans? Any input would be great and pictures of the finished area would be even better!
Thanks,
Clow
The pedal area is notorious for sitting water. You can take the entire cluster out fairly easily and pay to have someone here on the site rebuild it.... the person who did mine (I forgot) did an awesome job...
...For pic's, do some search's
Alright, I have done some searches but am not having much luck. Is there a certain phrase I should search? I was going off of "pedal area" and such. Does it have any other name or something that might be more successful?
Thanks,
Clow
I think the word you need is 'cluster' as in pedal cluster?
I met Bruce stone, he sold me a pristine ss heat exchanger for a very reasonable price. :-) His specialty is pedal cluster restoration, though, he was saying.
I've read that it's a leaking master cylinder that does the pedal cluster in, brake fluid being no good for paint.
Not too sure what happen to my last reply
But this is what I have to work with:

Bottom side
I had the same issues as you. If you look at my 1973 restoration thread somewhere around page 3 or 4 I show what I did. Not a lot of pictures but
some.
I got a piece cut from a parted out car and patched it into mine. Then I made
little patches to fill in the bottom of the footwell and the tunnel. It took some
time but worked like a champ.
When I welded in a new floor pan it all fit just right, which was pretty lucky.
In post #109 on page 6 I show how I fixed the boxed reinforcement under the pedal area.

I have the same problem ....I have sheet metal. It is one of the first things on my list. I have a rock hard gas pedal and I think water/dirt got into my pedal cluster.
Please snap a picture or two once you get it fixed
Will do once the new piece is made! So I have everything pretty much figured out except the gas pedal bolts. Are they 2 studs that stick up from the floor?
