Posted March 13, 2024Mar 13 comment_663063 My car was originally an auto. I’m in the process of restoring it, and I’m getting close. I put a 4 speed in it, but there is no standoff on the firewall to prevent the clutch pedal going to far. Could someone do me a big favor and measure the height of this clutch pedal stopper (including the rubber pad)?? Please measure starting from the metal firewall, not the insulation. Greatly appreciated. Here’s the part I’m referencing… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68858-clutch-pedal-stopper-height/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 18, 2024Mar 18 Author comment_663183 And in case anyone is converting from and auto to a manual, and needs a clutch pedal stopper, here was my $4 solution. Everything was purchased at Ace hardware…3 inch 3/8 elevator boltYour choice of fender washers2 nyloc nutsRubber or felt pad glued to elevator bolt headDrill a 3/8 hole in the footwell, fender washers on either side of the sheet metal, tighten the nylocs on each side and your done. Adjust the height appropriately. In my case, it’s set at 1.8 inches as measured by grannyknot above.It feels very solid and should work fine…Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68858-clutch-pedal-stopper-height/#findComment-663183 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 18, 2024Mar 18 comment_663192 That's much better than the original stop, using the adjustable slave push rod and the M/C linkage, your stop allows you play with the pedal height.

March 31, 2024Mar 31 comment_663486 Maybe glue a thick piece of rubber to the top to cushion the speed shift! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68858-clutch-pedal-stopper-height/#findComment-663486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
