Re: '39 pedals in a '35
Just an update on the '39 pedal installation;
Yes, using the lower rear hole is the correct position. The B Drake frame hole cut-out is similar to the original Ford, except it's a little larger. As seen in my earlier supplied sketch, Ford has a dimple cut on the lower end as opposed to a complete cut-out. I guess they wanted to leave as much of the frame material as possible...I did the same. Instead of fooling around with templates and center punches, which somehow never get accurate when working crawling on the floor under the car, I used a 90 degree angle drill with the proper drill bit size to match the pedal mount. Tighten the one locating bolt, center the mount and drill...easy. As for pedal alignment and clearances, it fits 99% perfect. I placed the original metal floor pan ( photo ) and as can be seen, no mods are necessary. It's only off a tad. On another matter, I did have to cut out some metal on the floor pan to clear the steering shaft...because, I installed a '37 steering box and frame mount. This set-up lowers the box and on the good side, gives more clearance for headers. Thanks all for you help.....hopefully others can use this info....Robert |

Re: '39 pedals in a '35
Nice job, Robert.
On my 40 there was a short length of metal channel bolted along the bottom of the left x-member rail. I suppose it was to add a little strength to the frame due to the bigger cut out for the pedals. Anyone else familiar with what I can remember? It was about 10 inches long, 2" wide and about 5/8" deep, and had 4 bolts holding it in place. Mart. |

Re: '39 pedals in a '35
My '40 has the piece Mart described. It has a clamp that attaches from the bottom to hold the speedo cable and emergency brake cable in place.

Re: '39 pedals in a '35
Mine was on a coupe - I don't have it any more, unfortunately. Are there 4 5/16" holes
along the bottom flange of the x-member? I'm relying on memory here. Mart. |

Re: '39 pedals in a '35
Isn't the purpose of the described re-enforcement to beef up the area under the equalizer shaft used on the '40? A '39 with the direct connection to the throw out bearing shaft does not need that frame part.
