Clutch and brake bumper
Dumb question. The rubber bumpers on the clutch and brake rods -- aren't the rods supposed to move through them? In other words shouldn't they be affixed to the firewall somehow? Or do they move in and out with the rods (that's what mine do, seems odd).

Re: Clutch and brake bumper
On my '37 they are not affixed to the firewall. They are '39 rods,& move in & out w/the rods.

In '41, they move with the pedals.

Re: Clutch and brake bumper
Can you trim the bumper? Or glue it to floor board with Contac cement?

Re: Clutch and brake bumper
On my '390 Pickup, I seem to have engine mount-like biscuits mounts to the angled steel floor board. Also a sheet of foam.

Re: Clutch and brake bumper
That's what I was thinking. Or the black weatherstrip adhesive.

Re: Clutch and brake bumper
They do occasionally require a bit of trimming. Especially if the bushings are badly worn in the arms.
