Clutch and Brake pedals

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I am in need of a photo of how these two pedals are attached to the shaft coming out of the bell housing. Specifically the spring connection for the clutch pedal. Picture of what I believe is correct for my car?

Bill,

What year and model is it? I would be very concerned about the wiring getting in the way of the pedal action. My ’29 does not look anything like that. With some form of rubber motor mount, it looks to be a later model. Nice detail!

By the way, what color/finish should the starter/accelerator assembly be on my ’29? As the car is black, I am hoping to add a bit of contrast to the engine compartment. There was a previous discussion of some engines being green. Is that the Packard green or some other shade?

Bob,

Packard Green???

UCK!

How about something like a Pierce Green?

I agree! Anyone have a paint code, or does Bill Hirsch carry Pierce Green?

At one time the publication dept. has a listing of colors you might request that from one of the back issues.

Black starter, black engine block, black cylinder head, black bell housing.

Green is not common on Pierce engines, definitely the exception, not the rule.

on a 32 I would only use black, as Greg listed. I have never seen a green engine that I thought was correct after 1930.

Mine is a ’29 club Brougham that is black with a lot of chrome tubing, much like the picture Greg posted. The air horn (cleaner), water jacket cover, and the oil filler cover is chrome. It was apparently owned by a Phili area mobster. I am just trying to give it some contrast when you open the hood. The intake is black porcelainized as well. With a red car, the black is tasteful. All black and the engine compartment looks dull.

Dave Murray has a ’29 or ’30 coupe with a green engine block.

At least he did when I saw it at the Oregon meet back in 2006.

Just to add a comment. Dave Murray’s PA is a 1930 Club Brougham. I do not remember the engine color. I once had a 29 motor that had a fuel pump that was dark green. As memory fades, I remember the engine was Black.
