30 tudor floor boarss measurments
My 30 tudor was my first car purchased back in 1965 while in the Navy. All these years I had to put up with floor boards that the previous owner made. Finally after 59 years I decide o replace them with correct ones. After searching this forum and others I still can't find a blueprint of the upper floorboard. On this site all leads to floorboard prints came out as not there anymore. Or to look in certain issues of Model A Restorer (which I do not have)
I have the front bottom set made. What I need is the height of the front top board and location of the hole for the gas peddle. Can anyone help out? John |

Re: 30 tudor floor boarss measurments
Given it's a '30, you probably want plywood.
The earlier cars had floorboards made up of strips of maple, popular or some other hardwood and "dovetailed" together in the patented "Linderman" construction. The Linderman's are hard to find. I think I've seen one on Ebay in 20 years. It wouldn't be that hard to set up a router and "make" the boards. Joe K

Re: 30 tudor floor boarss measurments
As befits their source, the large floorboard above includes the cutout for the "dual high" pedals.
The corresponding year (28-29) automobile large floorboard is a bit different in the area around the battery cover. IIRC (it's been a while since I looked) the 28-29 large board has the "narrower" battery cover and matching hole.
