The stud extending from an original 1940 Ford brake pedal pad measures
.525" and an 18 pitch gauge fits it perfectly. What is the thread?

Sounds like 1/4 in pipe or 9/16-18 UNF. Paul K. Dickman

That would be my guess.

If there isn't a good Ford restorer's newsgroup I'm sure there's some
good forums -- and there's plenty of early V-8 enthusiasts out there that
could quote you chapter and verse of the specs.

Bob Drake Reproductions may make this (if they've gone beyond _just_
rubber goods). Or send an email to Karl at Wescott's Auto Restyling
(http://www.wescottsauto.com). He'll know if you can get his attention,
and if you're looking for a new pedal he will have one, or know where to
get it.
