Good day all,

After doing a search, couldn't find any treads on the subject so...
Have a question re brake and clutch pedal draft pad located just under floorboard.
Ord 9 SNL G-740 p.253 lists two part numbers (7372824 & 8328436) and in fig 12-6 p.240 it's listed as part LL.
what's the difference between them? were they felt or rubber?
Happy new year everyone

Wink

Thanks
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
Great question. I always thought that using felt instead of rubber parts was a WW2 thing because of the rubber shortage during the war.
I could easily be wrong about that and it lasted into the 1950's.

Take a look at Figure 18 on page 25 of the M38 TM9-1804A Engine and Clutch Manual. The pad sure looks like felt to me.

I'm using re-pop rubber pads, but I see several vendors sell re-pop felt.
I haven't seen any NOS in packaging with part numbers.

Good luck! And welcome to the forum!

I just noticed.....a closer look at Figure 18 on page 25 of the M38 TM9-1804A Engine and Clutch Manual.....is the pad, washer, and spring assembled in the wrong order on the pedal shaft?

Other figures in the manuals seem to show them assembled in reverse order with the pad up against the underside of the floor pan, then the washer, then the spring at the bottom of the pedal shaft.
Which is how I have mine assembled.

That figure is obviously staged to show the parts. Guess the editor wasn't a mechanic.

Thanks Ron for pointing that out, I never noticed that page before in 1804A.
Looks like felt to me too and yes the reverse way of installing compared to that pic makes more sense.

Midwest Military has some NOS pads. They were made of felt and then covered in a rubber type material. Roughly 1/4" thick. I found the company that actually made them, but sadly they are out of business. Currently, I am investigating how they made this product and trying to get them made.
