Tech Week:Traditional Modification: 1939 Ford Pedals in 34 Ford frame

yup,,,right now i am really stoked to be workin on it.

your Sugar City website looks really bitchin' mayne.

 

Thanks for engineering the answer to my present problem. Great work!

 

Good stuff. Still trying to decide between this and '53/'54 ford swing pedals and firewall mounted masters.

 

I was worried about cutting the x in mine but your boxing makes it look safe. Good fab work on the pedals.

 

beautiful

 

I'm glad you did. I have a set of those pedals I got in a deal, and wasn't sure what they came off of.

 

Wow, 6 year old thread brought back from the grave. I still have not got this damn thin on the road. I am painting it now though.

 

Waiting for my pedals to come in and I am doing the same thing can’t wait!!!

I couldn't find this when I had my 39 pedals so I sold em off and used F-1 pedals on a hunk of 1/8th inch plate. I also sliced about 2/3rd way through the X and boxed it in like you did. I drove it like this last summer with worn pedal bushings. This winter I'm changing out the worn bushing. Great tech!

 

Have you fabricated the clutch linkage yet. I have the 1939 petal set - ready to connect to a Muncie 4 speed - looking for ideas for this connection

Oh yes. It's been done for quite some time. You have to play around with linkage lengths to get it right. I suggest making an access hole in the bottom of your bellhousing so you can see the throw bearing and the distance between it and the pressure plate. I made a 1 inch hole and used an expansion plug to fill it . The only way to get your linkage right without burning up the TO bearing. I had to find the right clutch arm for the shaft. I'm using early ford style stuff from Mac's in New Zealand. It's kind of a bitch but it can be done. Not much room under there to work. The Mustang MC was a loser. I took it out and went with a Corvette MC that has a much bigger bore. Now the car stops.
