Pedal rubbers

[Rubber Bedford]

Hi all,
I have ordered a new pair of rubbers from the UK for the brake and clutch pedals for my CF. I am told I will need them for a roadworthy.

However, I cannot find any reference to an accelerator pedal rubber.

Does anyone know, did the van originally have an accelerator pedal rubber?

If it did, presuming OEM cannnot be found, which other vehicle's pedal rubbers will fit?

Cheers, rubber

Just had a look  at mine, dosen't have one, don't think it ever has, but that is not to say they don't, sorry guess this is of no help.

Anyone have a picture of the correct accelerator pedal rubber for refernce?

likewise, i've bought a brake pedal rubber from the uk but can't find a repro accelerator one.

I would say that you would not need one as if your foot slips off it would not be a safety issue or an emergency situation

I agree.  Mine did not have a rubber on the accel. pedal.
If they want to give you a hard time you can always glue some sandpaper onto it for a non slip surface.  Or hit it with a grinder.  Or rivet a bit of chequerplate to it so it is a non slip surface.  Can also buy some universal pedal pads from Supercheap or Repco and use them.

Yes I think I may do this. I have to convince them to let me try a few on for size. Was hoping someone had already been through this.

No matter, I'll give it a go, and report back. Thanks for your replies.

Cheers, rubber

They weren't fitted with a rubber on the accelerator pedal, when my CF was new.
I glued some rubber on there after a cop hassled me about it once, but it was dangerous, so I
removed it immediately. Never had any rego. problems with this either.

Wow! You had one since new?? How great that must have been.
What made you get a beddy back then?

[Vandee]

You would have to be very old now to have got one new.  well a Mk 1 anyway

A Bedford SWB was the ONLY vehicle I ever wanted to own. Purchased when I was 21 years old, I'm now 56. Yes, I'm one of the (very rare) original owners.
