Need a couple pics...

Post by Rocket989 »

Does anyone have (or would take) a few pics under their dash? Looking for good shots of the pedal mounting assembly (brace) from both sides, and the z-bar linkage & steering column exit through the firewall. Ideally, a '64 (not sure what if anything FOORRRD changed for '65 but I know the '64.5 'Stang I was comparing is very different!).

Thanks!! Rocket

Thanks Joe!! So there really is a "wedge" on the left (driver side) of the brace/ pedal support?? I'll circle it and repost your pic when I can get to a computer. What prompted my asking for the pics was mine has a piece of CCA treated lumber acting as the the "wedge"...! :shock: Knew that wasn't right... Also trying to get the gasket/ plate/ plug for the column all back on. Given where the clutch linkage rod runs through, I don't see any way to not cut the gasket.

Also, I'm not 100% sure the z-bar linkage is using all correct parts... That stuff is leaving for the hydraulic stuff with the engine & tranny swap (next up on the list once the current round of bludgeoning is done) but I'd like it correct in the interim!!

Well crap, looked at the pics again...I guess it won't fit properly if the plate is the wrong way and you already glued the gasket to it... :x :? :shock: :? :shock: Guess I have some clean-up/ re-paint activity looming... I knew I should've taken better pics pulling the stuff out!!

Yeah that plate only goes one way! I didn't glue the seal I just placed it in there.
The wedge on the support - do you mean the clutch pedal stop that looks like a fiber material?
If you need any other pics (of a 65 :P ) let me know.

Joe - yea, the fiber material...mine has a chunk of CCA! Turns out I did get the plate/ gasket right but it's very different than a '65!! Thanks again for the pics. Biggest thing now is my steering wheel is cracked most of the way through on BOTH sides!! :shock: :? Need a replacement for sure! I didn't notice 'til slapping it back on tonight!

I converted a non 4 speed pedal bracket to 4 speed. For that pedal stop I used a clip nut and one of those eng compartment hood bumpers. It's adjustable so I can dial in pedal height.
My cyclone steering wheel was seriously cracked too. I filed the big deformations and filled the cracks with PC-7 and painted it. Guess what...it's cracking again! :roll:

I bought a replacement steering wheel a few years ago, I need to dig it out sometime and look and see if it has any cracks, I think it does but they are small and go ahead and get them repaired, did anybody here do a step by step on that? If not I can try and put a picture set/instructions together when I do mine.

Actually there is a wheel on my parts car, I might pull it and do a repair on it at the same time so I will have two.

See Ya,
Mike

Mine is cracked in a multitude of places but the nail in the coffin are the ones on each side of hub that are 3/4 (or more) of the way through!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
