My Low Cost Dead Pedal for LBCs

Over 12 years ago I got this pedal and recently wanted to install it in my 1974 MGB. The pedal is an accelerator pedal from a 1936 to 1954 Ford and cost less than $20.  The steel bracket is 3x3x1 ½ x 12 Ga. Which was purchased at Home Depot for $4 (wood framing connector).  I cut one leg to 1 ¼” + drilled holes + painted.  The top of the pedal is about 3 ¾” from the carpet and the angle is 55 degrees from the horizontal.  I rounded the bottom of the pedal to rest on the carpet evenly.

The pedal matches the stock pedals and it is nice and comfortable and keeps the left foot off the clutch.

Best regards, 
Tim Ross
