Default Re: 39 accelerator pedal

Periodically, the screw holding the gas pedal to the floor in my ’39 CS will loosen up and the pedal will ‘flop’ from side to side. It’s an easy fix to tighten however, if the pedal in your car is worn at the back side where the accelerator rod attaches to it, you should replace the pedal. I use a small dab of grease on the end of the accelerator rod and clamp a vice grip to the rod, next to the floorboard, to steady it so the pedal can be pushed over the end of the rod. I just recently did this on my ’39.
