E28-Floor Weather Pad (S Column)

[Charles Reese]

Like so many others… bad case of cabin fever here in mid-Atlantic … going through my “A” photos while I still have power.
Would appreciate comments as to the correct shape and installation of A-35122-AR FLOOR WEATHER PAD. I apologize to anyone I should acknowledge for the attached photos-early in my collecting I failed to record my sources.

A: possibly an original pad? Seems to have been previously (crudely) installed. However, the original molded areas for screws were not used (and are a very different shape than other examples). Note the ‘flange' around the 3 edges IS a uniform size.

B: reproduction (don’t recall source). ‘oval’ shape of molding around pedals. ‘Flange’ around the 3 edges is NOT uniform size.

C: reproduction (popular vendor). Pedal holes similar to original; oblong screw holes. ‘Flange’ around the 3 edges is NOT uniform size.

D: reproduction (popular vendor). “Someone” assumed the thin flanges around the edges were left over from the molding process … trimmed them off …now feel they should remain and be tucked under floor mat/carpet … expensive lesson learned Anyone interested in a ‘modified’ repro?

** Would much enjoy any photos of original pads
Stay warm and safe!!
