Who makes an aftermarket clutch and brake pedal for a Model A ? OR, what are you using in yours?
Thanks, Mike

I am running a 42 to 48 Dodge set of pedals which work well. Also the 32 or 39 Ford pedals works well.

Are you wanting aftermarket Model A style pedals? like reporductions? Model A pedals mounted to the bell housing of the transmission.
They do make an adaptor to mount Model A pedals to the side of a '39 transmission.

Elrod, the adapter is not what I had in mind but might work.
I just need a clutch and brake pedal and I dont have a 39 pedal assembly and a 32 K-member and a ........................................
Right now I am using a center crossmember which is know as part # 5025. It was used in 1942-47 commercial trucks and 48-51 regular ford trucks. You will have to narrow it a bit to fit in the model a frame. The pedals bolt up nicely with some adjustment. Cheap! Get some used 1940-48 pedals and get some bushings from Joblot.

Got mine from Sachse rod shop 120.00 I believe. what rearend are you running? I cut out the old crossmember that was in my Coupe when I bought it looks sweet but I cut it out to save time. Looks like a 32 or something maybe even the 40's one they are talking about. You can come out and check it out I bet it will work for you. It has brake, clutch still hooked up ready to weld back in. When did you get a model a?

you could maybe fab one if you don't like the price
it's a hydraulic clutch setup - posted it for grins

Cword, Thanks for the picture. It gives me ideas.
30roadster, I thought about that set up but I wont have the room under the dash aside from the price.
Rusty, I wanna look at those pedals some time. I'm gonna use them in my "T" on "A" rails. What did your dad do with the ones that he was gonna use on his 32?

El Rusto, the pedals from Sachse that pops had for the 32 are the ones that I am using. Just let me know and you can check out this crossmember I have. I think it would be so cool to use it. you be the judge.
