There is a piece of hard gasket like material on either side of the felt so it can work freely to follow the pedal rod as it moves through its arc. Of course, with the felt supplied for the accelerator pedal there is no way you can keep it compressed between the time you take it out of the vise and the time you try to work it into the slot in the floor. I took a sharp box cutter and sliced mine in about one-third/two-thirds and ended up using the two-thirds piece. Then I oiled it thoroughly and stuck the cleaned accelerator rod through and worked it back and forth. Then tried to move it fore and aft to see if it was free to follow the arc of travel. It was. I won!
