Hi,

Can someone answer this question regarding installing carpet in a Road Runner. I replaced the carpet in my car a couple years back when installing the gas pedal I mounted the pedal on top of the carpet. When I installed the bracket for the gas pedal 3/4 of the pedal bracket is mounted on the carpet and the remaining amount is mounted on the floor of the car. Is this correct or should the bracket be mounted completely on the metal floor. Can someone please post some pics.

Thanks

Im having trouble understanding what bracket you mean? The bracket up on the firewall? The pedal just bolts straight down to the floor.

The pedal itself mounts on top of the carpet. The bracket mounts directly to the floor (firewall) before the carpet goes in.

Am getting ready to fasten down and trim the carpet in my 70 RR. So gas pedal attaches at upper right corner of heel pad?

When I removed the original carpet from my 68 satellite last year, it was cut where the pedal mounts to the floor... so the bottom of the pedal would meet the floor and not sit on top.

The base of the pedal should sit on/at the inner forward corner of the heel pad; you'll need to remove a rectangular piece of the heel pad so the base of the pedal sits flat there. Same location for all '62-'70 B-bodies.

Thanks everyone. That is exactly what I wanted. Mine is installed wrong. The pedal that is attached to the floor is installed correctly but the pedal bracket with the arm that is attached to the firewall is mounted on top of the carpet. This has to go behind the carpet.

Thanks Again.
