First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Joe & others,
I should have explained more. The pedal set I bought has a pivot shaft diameter of 5/8". (at the top of the pedals) The hole in the pedal bracket is 7/16". That is my dilemma. I think what I may do is to just enlarge the 7/16 hole in the bracket to 5/8 and I think that should do it. If I ever want to go back to the original (automatic trans) I will just make some bushings on the lathe to fit the enlarged hole in the bracket. For general info, the original (auto trans) brake pedal's shaft is actually 5/8" and it is fitted with a bushing that takes it down to 7/16" and uses a bolt to hold it together. The shaft diameter of the manual pedal set is 5/8" and only has a solid shaft with an end clip to keep it together.) I appreciated the info about the clutch linkage from Frank. Although that is not my question now - it no doubt will be "tomorrow". Thanks Clell 69 Conv Colorado Springs -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Paoletta Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 5:59 PM To: 'First Generation Firebird-L' Subject: RE: [FGF] RE:Brake and clutch pedals needed for a 69 First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I may be able to help. I recently converted my 67 to stick. I took most on the pats from my cousins '69 firebird including his pedals. I don't believe I messed with them at all but figured a way to use them... Anyhow even though my car works fine, the pedals aren't quite right. Probably because they are 69's Maybe we can work something out. Dino says the repo pedal are crap... I'd be interested in a swap of some kind to get the right ones for my car. joe -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clell Rogers Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 7:53 PM To: 'First Generation Firebird-L' Subject: [FGF] RE:Brake and clutch pedals needed for a 69 First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Hey Guys, I am converting a 69 Conv from an automatic to a Muncie 4 speed and am in need of the brake and clutch pedals. I purchased a pedal set from CI which cannot fit, and now have been told that the pedals for the 69 are different from the 67, and 68s. I am assuming that that is true (?) (I originally thought that I had to change the pedal carrier bracket.) I also need the cover on the center consul that is for the manual transmission. Can any one able help me out?
