[Roadsters] early 67 roadster pedal assembly

[Gordon Glasgow]

A problem I've encountered is that the hole in the pedal where it attaches
to the bellcrank linkage wears over time and doesn't keep the pedal in the
right position. The end of the bellcrank has two flats on it that are
supposed to fit into a corresponding hole in the pedal. But the hole in the
pedal wears into kind of a bow-tie shape, allowing the pedal to sit closer
to the firewall than it should, and this limits travel.

Bending the pedal is one option. Another is welding up the hole in the pedal
and having it re-cut so it doesn't have the slop.

hi, all.

put the carpet in, and realized that it really limited accelerator pedal
travel.  then I realized it was no longer  a tight fit on the linkage shaft
that it bolts to.  then I realized that even without the carpet, it doesn't
really get full travel.

do I have the pedal bent at a more upward angle?

suggestions?  surely I'm not the first to encounter this.
