Lou Earle Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Had to take out the toe board on the 50 plymouth station wagon. got the gas pedal and the lever to the throttle linkage installed on the toe board. Now the question is how do you install it- any suggestions most welcome Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Flanagan Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Keith, what did you use for insulation around that panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Earle Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 yes that is it. What is the secret- reverse order will not work- used a diegrinder to remove the old rusted one Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero3113 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Keith, what did you use for insulation around that panel? Joe, I went to Home Depot and found foam weather striping that was close to the original size and also made sure it had tape on one side to secure it. Has held up well so far. I think I have extra in the garage, if you want me to send you some let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero3113 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 yes that is it. What is the secret- reverse order will not work- used a diegrinder to remove the old rusted oneLou I did have to rework the new one to fit and also removed some original flooring for it to fit. If you are installing what you took out maybe loosen up the screws for the pedal and the bracket on the back, maybe they are warping it? Just a long shot...

aero3113 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sorry Joe, I was wrong,got it at ACE. Just went down to the garage and have plenty if you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Lou you should be able to just start all the screws and then tighten them. I believe you have to go underneath afterwards to hook up the gas pedal. What issues are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Flanagan Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sorry Joe, I was wrong,got it at ACE. Just went down to the garage and have plenty if you need. Thanks a lot, Keith. I've seen this stuff at my local hardware store. In fact, I think I have some in my basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Lou..are you saying you have th original bolts/screws broken off in the remaining floorpan this attaches too...if they are clean breakes and you have enough material on the underside to grasp with vice grips you can probably heat them with a torch to cherry red..let cool about 50% and then turn them on through. If you are not able to do this you may have to settle for drill tem out..if this is the option you wish to pursue..let me now..I have a bunch of 1/4-20 j-nuts that should be up to the task..
