Foot Pedals

Post by Tony_H » Thu May 25, 2023 3:31 am

OK.. reading the Encyclopedia the pedals changed from CBR to Ribbed to Smooth during 1915 period.
Here in Australia our cars were Canadian imported.
I have quite a few transmission covers from later models, all starter motor castings, which have ribbed pedals.
The question is did the Canadian production keep ribbed pedals later than US cars?

I believe the pedals lost their grooves in the 1925 cars.

Yeah, well 1925 makes sense Allan.
That was the year the Dalgety bodied ones had smooth pedals.
I had to scratch around to find a set in my heap of bits when I was putting one together.
