DEAD PEDAL for a BT7

[Gearhead_Garage]

Thanks for all the encouragement, interest, and feedback. I have been doing some research and hope to have a design that will fit the other cars soon. I will post here and personally to those who contacted me when I can wrangle some of my friends and local club members into letting me measure their cars.

I will also post a template from my CAD software when I return from my trip next week.

There are three critical measurements, distance from kick panel to the mounting screws, dimmer switch mounting holes distance and angle, and the actual shape of the dimmer.

Part numbers and pictures of both types on the "Miscellaneous Electrical" page in the Moss catalog:
The BN2 - BJ7 switch is 140-900; the BJ8 is 542-130.

I looked those up also. I am also concerned about whether the steel bracket on the floor is mounted in the same place in all the cars.

The two brackets and switches are different:

I am trying not to buy all those parts but I might have to!

Duane,
I made a tracing of the switch base and opening, which I can either scan or mail to Glenn.

Glenn,

Do you need any additional measurements or information?

Thanks,
