Where can I track down these parts?
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am working on a 59. I'm missing one of my cab floor front mount reinforcements. I can't seem to find these in any catalogs.
I also have the gasket cage for the brake pedal that attaches to the firewall. Is this something I can buy new? Looks like the clutch and brake are the same, but I am missing one.
Thanks for any direction.

Re: Where can I track down these parts?
 
for the cab mount part I used a formed washer from a vehicle front strut because mine was also missing. just can't remember what type of vehicle. you could easily enough make one if you have a vice or a press. match the diameter of the outside diameter of the circle part with a piece of pipe, match the diameter of the inner depression part with another piece of pipe, cut to the depth of the depression, put some proper thickness sheet in between those parts, center the 2 pieces and then sandwich them in the vice/press. when you squeeze it should make a depression until it bottoms out, then take it apart and flatten the edges, drill a hole and bob's your uncle.
the floor grommet holder would also be a home made part unless you can find somebody who has a scrapper floor or who is going with the firewall mounted pedal system.

I checked several sources including the filling station that shows almost every part reproduced for a Chevy car or truck. No luck. I think I kicked around one of those strut washers yesterday and if you know someone who works in a front end shop they may have some in a bucket under the bench or in the scrap bin.

My lathe comes in handy for parts like this

Brothers has an entire kit with those washers too, https://www.brotherstrucks.com/47-55...tinfo/CMS4754/ I don't know if AD washers are the same size as the TF washers though

I'll try that brothers kit first. On its way.
Anyone have a clutch or brake pedal firewall gasket cage?
