Excelerator pedal attachment

[Moparfiend]

I noticed a perfect rectangle clean area on the outside of the two mounting studs of the accelerator pedal. This implies there was a backing plate there before the factory undercoating. I don’t recall taking it off but there was non factory carpet installed sometime ago. I looked at the FSM but don’t see any plate but also doesn’t show the screws. So maybe the assembly drawing isn’t complete here.

Was there a plate on these? If so any pics would be helpful.

Thank you MF

I don't recall a backing plate on my '68, and it had original carpet in it.

I just finished putting mine back in my 69 Coronet which has pristine original floor pans in it and there was no plate and no indication that there ever was one.

None on my 70 either

Although my car is earlier vintage, no backing plate on mine. Don't know why one would be necessary just affixing the base of the pedal. Looks like someone cut out the undercoating that was once there for some reason.

My ‘69 didn’t have a plate either…

Neither one of mine had anything there.

My 1964 Polara has a plate there with a roll over on two sides to capture the speedo cable and park cable. It definitely looks like something had been there, but after 1965, there would no longer be a park cable to capture.

Zooming in on ot my best guess is, it was scraped by a PO

Too easy......I'm sure we can extrapolate another 10 pages of useless advice.
