For the prewar and deco trucks, many were designed for use without rubber. If your pedals are in rough shape, they pop up on fee bay all the time.
I am using a set of big truck pedals for my 1940. The big trucks used a frame mounted master cylinder. The pedals still bolt to the bellhousing, but the master cylinder is bolted to the frame. I figured this would be easier to manipulate when I install the new MC for the disc brakes. It gives me plenty of clearance for my transmission. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 190 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 190 | If they are that worn I would and probably will anyway, get one pad from a vendor, cast a mold of the face and depth of it, then cast a new pad right to the pedal. I use Hapco Inc. products. You will always have the mold and probably never wear out the ones you cast. | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 144 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2002 Posts: 144 | Great set of photos. You are doing a great job!
Am interested in the product you mentioned above Hapco Inc. Do you make a mold of your parts with one of their products and then use another product as the casting material? Are there some instructions on the web you can suggest?
Thanks
