Hello! I'm looking to switch out my brake pedal cover. My current cover has holes for a brake and a clutch. Obviously with just the brake to deal with, I don't need that second opening. I know I could just self tap a little piece over the hole, but I'd rather just install the correct pedal cover.

The parts book does seem to differentiate the cover assemblies in group 3.1125. The cover that I have is in the photos, and I'm guessing its part number is 573153. The cover assembly I'm looking for is 421272, which I would guess is only different from the perspective of not having an opening for a clutch.

So, does anyone out there have a parts car with this cover still in place? Held in with four self-tapping screws, and it slips off with the brake pedal removed.

Thanks for posting the group number because I tried to figure it out the past and got it wrong.

I did not think to look in the manual transmission section. I feel like it should be either in the body or brakes sections. 🤔

Hey all - wanted to revive this. I was going to resort to covering up the clutch hole with a rubber sheet. I ordered a new boot for the brake pedal to get that opening to seal and found that someone has enlarged the hole for the brake pedal. The larger opening makes it so the new boot will not stay retained in the cover plate when the brake pedal return to its neutral position. Ultramatic or otherwise, would love to track down a new pedal cover assembly for my 2302 ('50 Super Deluxe Eight).

You can probably get another cover easily enough. Try Max Merritt or even Packards Southwest.

The boot is not retained in the cover plate. It slips over the shank of the pedal, large side up, and all the way down to the corner of the shank. It smacks up against the back of your plate when the pedal is released.

What Ross said. It is made that way to prevent any chance of pedal binding.

Here is exactly what he is referring to:

Oh geeze. Well don't I feel silly. That's initially how I interpreted the diagram. Alright, no worries then.

If I could ask another dumb question, but was the pedal cover otherwise sealed to prevent moisture intrusion?

Thanks for the help on this.
