You can buy these trim pieces as a set or separately. |
I've been restoring and modifying a 1966 Ford Mustang Restomod with engine, suspension, and brake upgrades, and new paint and interior.
I'm also fixing up a former-road-racer, supercharged 2001 Bullitt Mustang.
And my '57 Chevy Bel Air needs just about everything.
My blog chronicles my mods and repairs, road trips, car shows, and new stuff along the way!

Slip Sliding Away
A quick little update—more of a tip actually. One problem I was having on the '66 was that the pedal pads on the clutch and brake pedals would slip off. I tried gluing them on, and saw evidence that a previous owner tried the same thing, but to no avail. The only way I've found to solve this issue for stock-style pedal pads is to install the stainless trim rings around the pedals.
These trim pieces have a series of metal tabs that wrap around the back side of the pedal plate using a screwdriver for leverage to help bend them. I actually think they look better too!

I installed the pedal trim rings on mine too. It wasn't because I had had problems with the pads slipping off, but then again I hadn't driven the car yet. I agree that they do made the pedals look better. Good tip.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just checked out your 66 -- it's looking awesome, very nice work!
