Smile Gas Foot Petal

I have an injured right arm from a car accident and am considering adding a gas control foot petal to my 24 T.

Has anyone made this addition to their T? How difficult is the conversion? And, how well does it work?

Thanking you in advance for your replies.....

There were several types offered back in the day like Bull Dog foot feed. I have not done one myself. You could do a google search "mtfca; foot feed" and see what pops up to help if you are building your own. Most work somewhat like the Model A, you can use the hand or foot feed.

I also have a bad arm from an injury. Cannot hold my arm up for the throttle longer than 10 minutes. I installed the Texas t part gas pedal. The hole in the floorboards is a little tricky but the rest of the installation is easy. Having a gas pedal on a T is a little awkward at first, but at least I can drive my T's.
