kcpope Posted March 13 Share #1 Posted March 13 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcpope Posted March 18 Author Share #5 Posted March 18 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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted March 18 Share #6 Posted March 18 I am sure I will have to do this. This is something I overlooked until your thread came up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted March 18 Share #7 Posted March 18 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccallum Posted March 31 Share #8 Posted March 31 Maybe glue a thick piece of rubber to the top to cushion the speed shift! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
