Pedal Seals 1946

[Lembo46]

Hey guys! Just curious, how are the seals installed? I'm not doing a floorboard over. I just want to add the seals as my car never had them. Can in remove the connectors under the floorboard to slide the seal on? Thanks!

You could split them on one side and then glue the side back together with weather strip cement after installed.

No connectors under the floorboard that could be removed. But it may work as per post 7 or post 8.

Since your car has not had bumpers, your pedals will stop 1/2" to 1" further depressed than before. After installation you should check to see if you still have some free play in both pedals.

I would advise not using the thick stock bumper/seals if you have changed the OE 1 1/16" master cylinder to a smaller bore (like a Mustang 1" during a brake upgrade) because longer pedal travel will be needed to assure fully stroking the new master. Much thinner rubber pads can be used as bumpers, and floor padding and carpet should provide enough sealing, and is what was done on my '40.
