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.
You can buy these trim pieces as a set or separately.
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!

  1. 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.
