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

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

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

Yea, you're right. :scratchchin: 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?

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. :brickwall:

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??

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

You don't have to count them. Just post a pic and we'll do it for you. :2thumbs:

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
