1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Folks I've done search but didn't quite find what I was looking for.
I'm looking for just the rubber pads, not the rubber that's bonded to a new metal frame. I bought Macs bonded set and they have a 1/2 x 20 stud that is incorrect for the car. I would like to use the Henry Metal and get a replacement rubber pad. Can anyone suggest a vendor that sells just the rubber? |

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Some of the 33 pedals use the 32 pads B-2454 with nuts and lock washers to attach them to the pedals. Later pedals are threaded for the 40-2454 pads that thread into the pedals. I do not believe anyone is making just the rubber to fit over a worn pad, at this time. There are older rubber replacements but fit and durability of old rubber???

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Ford never offered separate pads to replace the worn portion of the pad and base assembly. The only pad replacements were aftermarket and the face of them was totally different from the Ford design. I mention that as you state that 1/2 x 20 threaded assemblies are "incorrect". Late '33 and all '34 pedals used 1/2 x 20 studded pedal pad assemblies. While the pattern on the face of the replacements from Mac's may be incorrect or not, the studs and their threads are correct. Perhaps you have early '33 pedals as stated above or your '34 pedals have been modified.

Maybe his 34 has tapered threads like my 34 has. Drake has/had both threads.

I'm away from my car stuff so I shouldn't have piped in without checking my NOS pedal pad assemblies. On second thought, I believe that the threads are pipe threads, i.e. tapered as stated above. Notwithstanding, lock washers were still used even though they likely weren't required. |

As a side note, I was told that 40 Ford rubber pads would fit the Henry Metal. I just don't have one to try. |

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
My understanding is the 1933-48 is 1/4" pipe taper, that allowed the pedal to be lock into the arm with just the stud.
First double check your arm with a piece of 1/4" tapped pipe. Then try extending the thread (and depth of taper) on the pad with a 1/4" pipe die. |

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Just pulled a pad and checked it. 1/2-20 nut will start on it and seems like a good fix for about two turns and then it tightens up. Checked the threads against a 1/4-18 pipe tape and looks like a perfect fit. However, on my pads the threaded stud is straight, not tapered.

Seems the repop pads have a 1/2 x 20 tapered thread and the Ford are 1/2 x 20 straight thread.

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Here is a summary sheet that I made up a few years back when I was confused (common occurrence) about which pedal pad to use for a rumble seat step pad. Notice the difference in the threads between the B-2454 pad and the 40-2454 pad.

Re: 1934 Ford Brake/Clutch pads
Not in mine, I have two sets of original pedal assys and they are 1/4-18, they may look like 1/2 inch.
From post #9 above "Just pulled a pad and checked it. 1/2-20 nut will start on it and seems like a good fix for about two turns and then it tightens up. Checked the threads against a 1/4-18 pipe tape and looks like a perfect fit." They may look like a 1/2-20 and it may start for a thread or two, but that is not the correct size on the ones I have. Both the pedal assembly and the repo pads I have are 1/4-18 NPT and fit perfectly. Have you tried a 1/4-18 NPT to see it works in your pedals? Get a short section of pipe from a hardware store and try it. Last edited by JSeery; 11-27-2015 at 09:23 AM. |
