The grommets go on the engine side of the firewall. They effectively "seal" only when the pedals are up, as they travel with the pedal stalk. Packard I think didn't here to prevent a toe board mounted grommet from ever causing a stuck pedal.


BigKev is correct. They stay on the engine firewall side.
1st pic shows the pedal in the up position
2nd pic shows the pedal slightly depressed
3rd pic shows the small raises portion of the pedal arm that the grommet rests on

Thanks Howard. Not sure it is totally the same. I do not have a plate, but rather a board on the foot rest area. Are you saying I would remove the board place the grommets down the pedal shaft, and the place the board on top of the grommets to compress?


Yes you would have to remove that toe board. Mine was metal with some deteriorating insulation on top, so I'm thinking that's some type of insulation on yours. I have a 120c so don't know if it's slightly different from yours? But this is the best bet. Removing or dropping the pedals from the engine bay you would have to remove the board first as well as they end up hitting the master cylinder & starter and they won't pass the toe board enough for you to get them on from the engine side. At least that was my case. In my case though, I installed them before even thinking about removing the toe board so I installed them from the inside of the car and pushed them through a bit at a time to get them through the pedal opening. It was tight but I succeeded.

Yes, you have to remove the pedals from their shafts and then pull up the toe board.

Here you can see where I have slipped them down over the shafts.

Remove the pedal pads and toe board then slide the seals down to the stop on the brake and clutch arms
