Pedal help
We are trying to install the pedal cluster here in Australia on the 64 Coupe .We are unsure where the shaft from the pedals fit in the tunnel and the position of the accelerator pedal as the floor was rusted out and parts were missing. Does anybody have any pictures or diagrams showing the location. As usual thanks for any replies. Karl

this is probably not the best picture, but it is the only one I can find. You need to do at least 2 things to get everything properly located. Before these two things, the floor pan must be repaired under the pedal cluster. There is a boomerang shaped support, with 3 studs, welded under the floor pan that the pedal cluster attaches to with 3 nuts. This is available from Stoddard. To properly locate this support, the pedal cluster must be layed on top of the floor pan and the forward protruding studs through the bulkhead must be tightened up so that the cluster is in its correct location. With this done, 3 hole are drilled through the floor pan for the lower support studs to go through. Note that the pedal cluster holes are slotted fore/aft so that the cluster can be removed and installed. As I recall, you want the 3 holes to be at the rear of the slots so that as the cluster is lifted up and pulled rearward for the bulkhead studs to come out, the 3 slots provide clearance from the vertical studs. The second thing is to locate the accelerator support bracket that is a triangular shaped channel running cross car(also available from Stoddard) just behind the pedal cluster. This bracket is welded to the top of the floor pan and has two nuts welded to it that the acclerator pedal is bolted to. I will have to look at my car to refresh myself on how this is properly located. But the above should keep you busy for a few hours. I have only done this once, so hopefully some of the pros will pipe in now that this conversation has started.

RHD pedals
Karl, some pics. for you.
I've converted my A to RHD and took particular care with this aspect. In fact life became easy when I discovered that the factory had made small dimpled marks for the centres of all the holes in the bulhead needed for RHD. Not a lot of people know that.
There are already captive nuts for small bracket which supports the acc. shaft. similarly the holes for the swinging arm bracket are there. The end bracket for the clutch shaft will need the three holes drilling in the floor - I assume it has new floors. The toe board lower mounts are just lined up wth the sloping sides using an actual board. On mine the LH bolt for the acc. pedal is 185mm from the side wall of the tunnel.
Hope that helps.
