Floorboard?
 

Is there anything better to use instead of that two piece felt and cover plate by the steering column?

Not sure if this is "better", but this is what my car uses

I did see that, and like it, except can it be used on a 1929?, I thought it stated only 1928.

I happen to have both on hand, here's some pics

They're not a perfect match but real close, hope the pics help. My car is an early 28, I tried the steel and it would need a little tweaking to fit, not sure how the early 28 rubber would fit a 29

For the price, I'd craft one from an old floormat, to fit under the metal one. A slightly firm foam rubber "might" be a good choice, also??? It could be sprayed BLACK.

I have for a long time considered, but have not done, a modification to the pedals like the later cars had, with a small flange on the pedal, under the floorboard, that seals the hole when the pedal is up. My 40 ford had that feature.

The early style is 28 with the left hand emergency brake. The later style is mid 28 - 29. What's the production date on your firewall? It's on the drivers side near the lower flange.
The first one was used until Nov. 28. U.S. Canadian may have been longer. Buy a copy of the Judging standards. It's a huge help. (But at times can be confusing.)!!!LOL

I think all the venders sell only one felt, that will fit some model A`s but not all. I think Ford made more then one size, they do NOT fit the Victoria`s a 400`s or slant window 68C ,so I bought some of the correct size felt from Amazon.com and made my own that fits.
