Lettered pedal differences
[image][/image]looking through my spare parts I noticed the difference in the style of the letter in this reverse pedal. I probably would have never thought about it I hadn’t had them lying next to each other. Does anyone know anything about the reason or is it just different manufacturers?

Re: Lettered pearl differences
The one on the right is peculiar - is there a cartouche on either ? DB, TW ?

Re: Lettered pearl differences

Re: Lettered pearl differences
This is what you can buy today to weld on. It looks a little like the one on the right to me.
I would suspect molds changed back then as well as today.

When did I do that?

Re: Lettered pedal differences
Well I see spellcheck got me again. One of these days I’ll learn to proofread.
I’m working at the fire station tonight, tomorrow I’ll check for makers marks.

Re: Lettered pedal differences
One is marked DB, the other just a part number.

Re: Lettered pedal differences
I have an interesting one on my '13 roadster. The pyramid pattern on the clutch pedal is coarser than the other two pedals. I assume it's from the time when Ford was changing over from Dodge Bros. to his own production methods?

Here is one from Canada. RHD reverse pedal on my '15.
