I was going to order today (from work) and didn't get the size assuming that Chevs40 had a kit. They do not.
What size bolts and where do you buy them? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Ace Hardware is usually the best place to find nuts and bolts. Most Ace's you can buy individual bolts and nuts without having to buy the entire pack at places like Lowes.
From my memory I think mine are 1/4" X 20. I used the Phillips head screws on mine. Works nice. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 106 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 106 | Thanks A,
Next question: What did you use to cover the holes around the brake and clutch pedals? I have almost an inch of space on each side but no vendor sells a "gasket".

I still have my bent up original but it won't tell us anything.
EDIT: I would think that there should be a piece of rubber or molding that you could fit around the hole to close it in....or simply glue something to it. How about a piece of inner tube, nicely cut and glued to the floor with a slit for the pedals??
Just as info I might add that I purchased a fiberglass floorboard and it has held up nicely over the past 15 years.

I was looking at the "seal" for the 39 and later trucks and I may try to make one like that and use the clutch bumper to hold it in place...
If I remember correctly, you have a T5. Did you use something to seal around the transmission and the floorpan? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I'm running a 700R4 but have a working gear shift lever coming up through the floor. Folks who don't know better think its original till they see it has only one pedal.
I did cut the rubber floor mat pretty tight to the lever so its not a big deal. Anything we modify we have to modify everything around it!
..and as I mentioned before, some good adhesive an some type rubber, foam or weather stripping will work. I call it Kustom Made! | | |
