I just got my new cover and need to modify it to accommodate the hand brake. I could probably get close but I'd rather look once than buy twice.
Thx- Bruce | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 396 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 396 | I think I have a 1948 with 4 speed and floor hand brake cover. Interested? I just had cam out earlier today. I can take some pictures next week if I can find that cover. Remind me .

Good luck, Gerry Lee | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 255 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 255 | Well dang! I cut the hole in cover I got from Carter. It looks pretty good but I would have preferred to just get one.
Gerry Lee - when I pulled the old panel off (or what was left of it), there was a small banana shaped thin steel plate that went over the brake handle. It doesn't look like it attaches to anything but I'm not quite sure whether it should sit immediately under the trans cover, or beneath the foam seal (maybe it was attached to the brake boot?). Any ideas?

I can snap a pic if you still need one. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 255 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 255 |
got it sir, but thanks for offering.
Figured out what that little part is - it sits beneath the hand brake foam seal. I'm not sure if it originally was glued to the foam seal but it appears to keep it from slipping forwards and backwards with the brake lever. Pretty clever.
