1939 clutch pedal return stop
Fab’ing up ‘39 pedals in my Av8 with no K member. Everything looks good but just wondering what stopped the clutch pedal when the return spring pulls it back. Something has to stop it to be able to adjust the free play. It’ll be easy to add a bump stop but just wondering what the original car had ??

That and the pedal bumpers. The floor board has to be installed to adjust clutch.

Believe like 40 there were thick foam rubber pads. They fit over the pedal arm and follow the action of the pedal. When the pedal is released the rubber seals the holes in the floorboard.

Re: 1939 clutch pedal return stop
In 1937, the thick foam pads were sandwiched between the floorboard and a steel retainer plate so that the seal was stationary as the pedal was depressed and released. Depressing the clutch or brake pedal did not allow a blast of cold air up your pant leg. I am pretty sure the same design was continued through 1939.
