Is this how 4-speed pedal covers are supposed to look?

[bull]

I can't find the original rubber pedal pads for my 68 so I'm looking at these on Ebay. Do they look right?

[resq302]

Bull, those look the same as the ones in my car.

[Dans 68]

Yes they do.     Here is a shot of mine that I just took.

Thanks.

Actually, the new ones have one fewer rib than the picture of the original ones... if that matters to you.

Yea, you're right. The new ones have 8 ribs in the middle and Dan's has 9. His has the chrome surround though so I wonder if that has something to do with it? Anyone got a pic of the rubber only covers?

[Dans 68]

The chrome (dress up kit) has nothing to do with the pedal covers. 9 ribs versus 8...I have more than a few manual tranny car photos that I can check. I'll be back....

Dan

I'm back. Of the few '68 Charger pedal photos that I can adequately resolve, I see "8" ribs, and not "9". I'd go with the "8" count as being correct and leave this detail open for now. Perhaps more '68 4-speed Charger owners will post what they have under their feet so we get a larger sample.

Weird. Why would they be different?

Geez, I need better pictures...

  Your pics look like mine....

Here is "9" rib cover from a 68 GTX pedal assembly that I stole off the internet. I have no idea which is correct.

Can nothing be straightforward on these things? I swear, almost nothing can be simple when it comes to what is correct on 68s.

Oh well, I guess I'm going with 8 since that seems to be what you get when you buy new.

Hard to tell using the online photo but the pic in the printed catalog from PG Classic shows 9 ribs.

9 ribs original vs 8 ribs repo = no licensing fees??

[Dans 68]

Here are the pedals from my Charger back in '88. They have "9" ribs.

Oh, no, don't worry..."first generations" don't count.

You don't have to count them. Just post a pic and we'll do it for you.

Well, PG Classic doesn't pay licensing fees anyway because they don't use parts numbers/Pentastars. And I think part numbers are the only "design" inclusion that makes Chrysler any money.

both our 66's....yea, I know....interior is dirty...ain't had time to get cars out to clean yet this year because of health issue
