No ball socket. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 12 | The gas pedal they sent me goes on the ball on the end of the throttle linkage then down to like a u shaped piece that would accept a bolt. Mounted on the floor is a bracket thats flat and looks like some sort of ball goes into it. Anyone give me a clue?

In 1953-1957, the ball at the top of the linkage-rod goes into a socket at the top of the pedal, and there is a pin/rod that goes through through the holes on the sides of the bracket on the floorboard and through the the bracket at the base of the pedal.

Went thru some old manuals and cant find any pictures of that area. Thanks

Hope this gives you some perspective. | | |
