Title: 37 P4 e-brake boot and mat
Post by: Phred on March 26, 2009, 11:26:40 AM
Did the 37 P4 come with a rubber boot for the e-brake lever where it meets the floorboards?

I would like to use one, what has anyone else has used to substitute?

Thanks in advance.

Did not come with a boot but does require a floorplate. Most all the suppliers have the floorplate. There is a boot for the shifter.

Tell us something about yourself and your car. Where do you live? How did you find your car? Pics?

Hopefully a photo will appear. If not would someone send me photo posting instructions?

The previous post mentions a floor plate for the e-brake. Do I have the floor plate in this photo?

Thanks

Here's a link to a photo on Photobucket of my e-brake lever.

Jim's earlier reply mentioned a plate istead of a boot. Does my car have the plate?

After I learn how to post photos, I'll be happy to post a few photos of the car.

Peace,
Phred

Sorry for the wasted time trying to get this photo posted.

Is there a plate to cover the hole in the floorboard wher the e-brake comes through on my 37 P4?
Can someone post a photo of what it should look like?

Thanks so much.

A rubber hand brake boot from Model A Ford suppliers fits the emerg. brake handle perfectly and gives a nice finished look and air seal.(very inexpensive though not stock).  It can be used in conjunction with the floor plate shown in the Steele Rubber catalogue by slipping it over the handle followed by the rubber floor  plate.
