So today I am working on my accelerator pedal and the linkage to the carb. I bought the floor Felts to "seal" and prevent "Squeaks". So I am asking the Great Truck Gods and anyone else with the knowledge that is eluding me. The felts that I have seem to be 2 to 3 times thicker than the housing that they fit into. I am sure that these Felts need to be compressed to be installed but I am not sure what is the best way to go about this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
