View Full Version : Wanted "Dead Paddle"
GOODMANS

Hi...
I am a new owner of a Black MM-2004 based in East Michigan. The car drives great...though my only complaint is that it lacks a "Dead Paddle" to support my left foot while driving. Since I drive quite a lot, it is a pain to keep my left foot 'hanging' while my right foot engages with the accelerator and brake.
My previous car, FordTauras SHO did have one...and I am used to resting my left foot on the "Dead Paddle".
Could anyone give me a clue as to where to get this paddle for my MM...
Rgds,
Goodmans:coolman:

There were group buys in the Community Discussion forum for two different "Dead Pedal" designs
Maybe one of those will work for you

We used to call it the "Board of Corrections". ;)

I use to have a 'dead paddle', but now I am up the creek without it.

What 'creek' would that be Gordon? :D
Mike.
I just had 20 brackets made for the Kenny Brown style.
You have to get the actual pedal from Ford.

3 ways to get a dead pedal -
1. Search for "dead pedal" and look for posts by "BigCars4Ever", he makes one.
2. In the same search look for a thread for "Zack & Zack Dead Pedal".
3. Buy an older Mustang one off of eBay. There are at least 3 of them listed right now.

I could do that. I made 2. Another member of SSM (who isn't registered here) has it for his 2004 DTR MM. Mine has been in 3 other Panther platform vehicles.
The first time those pics were posted here, someone stated a wood dead pedal was wrong. But that was then.

Looks good.
Is that a KB bracket or your own design?
