Re: Parking brake
I'm going through this on a '58 right now. Appreciate the info here.
The vehicle owner already had a later model foot pedal from "something"...looks basically the same as what everyone here has been using/suggesting. Center to center of the studs appears to be 3". There were already two holes in the firewall for it to bolt up and a corresponding hole in the dash for the 3rd bolt. I can't imagine this was factory so perhaps someone embarked down this road before??
The hole in the dash is a bit tricky due to the way the dash is formed above. You're not likely to drop a bolt in from above and you would barely be able to hold a nut in place with a fingertip (this would likely be a call-the-wife job because small hands would be better). Anyway, I put a 1/4-20 nutsert in the existing hole in the dash and voila!
Now to figure out cables.....
(apologies I don't know why the firewall pic appears turned 90)
