62 accelerator pedal question

[55Brodie]

Can someone recommend a pedal that will stay put? If I look crosseyed at the one I bought from Hubbards, it pops off the studs. And no I didn't lube the studs and yes I cleaned them well before hand.
Thanks Brodie

Hey Brodie,

Call Hubbard’s they might have a solution or maybe they can send you another, maybe that one is just defective. I had a problem with a weatherstrip and they sent me another free of charge!! Great company can’t say enough!

The best pedal is the rubber one. The cheap, plastic ones, in my opinion, are junk.
Hey Skip.....see all my commas????!!!!!!

Don't hide, Ron.

Dave, have you been practicing? You're developing a very good swing.

Where, do, I, get, a cheap, rubber, one?

My original did the same, until I took my dead blow hammer (soft faced) and gave it a few whacks. It hasn't fallen off since. I would look for a used pedal.
You can buy a new rubber one from Inline Tube on eBay for $13.85 with free shipping. ebay auction

Yours is probably just a bad reproduction but chevy had a similar problem in 61 production. Solved it by using longer studs. I would think 62 would have the longer studs in production.

I looked up that washer (120392) in my GM English & Metric Standard Parts catalog, and it gave the size as 9/32" hole size, 5/8" OD and 1/16" thickness. Now, before you run down to your local GM dealership, keep in mind that there are 500 in the package!

Me thinks your balls are too small.

Me thinks your balls are too small.

Yes Phil, I have suffered from that all my life.
Cecil, my 62 has the long studs.
Unless someone can offer up a sure fire solution, I am going to call Dynacorn and ask about their pedal. I have had good luck with their stuff, but they want $ 45.00 for the thing! Must be a he-man part.

Amazing, where you get that stuff from Cecil, Carmine.

According to my memory....laugh here if you want......the longer studs came out in 65.

C'mon guys. I thought, we were gonna keep it clean.

Try trimming some carpet around the balls so the pedal sits down farther.

Already did that, Don. Thanks.

It's not the ball's fault Don.....
