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?

Yes, for several more years.

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.
