On-order. I think with this replacement, I've closed up as much as I can any open space between the cab and the engine, leaving gas fumes from mingling with the sweet smell of perfume from any of my lady friends riding along with me.

I would make your own pads from brown carpet underlayment (padding) It is thicker and you can trim it closer to the pedals and column to stop those air leaks,the part they sell leaves to much room around the pedal arms.

Not only that but why do they have to do the cut right at the joints for the two pieces? I don't care if Ford did it that way it's dumb! Leaves more gaps.

Took your advice and acquired a thin piece of indoor/outdoor carpet in case the felt pad came up short, it didn't, just took some time to get the placement right. I'll keep it on hand anyway in case the opening starts wearing away. Thanks..............

The stuff you buy lasts about a minute until the clutch pedal enlarges the hole again...
