Guest Federico Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Hello everyone!!, this is my first post on this new forum, and i have to tell you this is much better. I wanted to know if someone has some photos of the throttle pedal mounting on the floor of the car? I know the one on my car is not the original one, and since now the front and floor of the car is all around the garage it is a good moment to try to change this... Thanks! Quote
greg g Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Basically there are two studs with ball shaped tops which screw into captured nuts welded to the floor pan. The balls fit into the holes cast into the back of the pedal assembly. Somebody fabed up a reasonable facsimile and posted a pic a while back hopefully they still have the photo and will repost. Was it you Don C??? Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 This car is a 46 DeSoto, so I guess it would have the two studs on the floorboard, with two holes in the bottom part of the gas pedal. (On some cars, probably later models, there is a hinge on the bottom with a couple holes, attached to the floor with screws or bolts.) One of the studs is broken on mine, so used a sheet metal screw to replace it. The pedal will pop over the screw head just fine. Or you could use two nuts and bolts (with the right size rounded head) if no studs are available. Quote
