1950 Buick Brake Pedal Floorboard’Seal’

[Kartman01]

Hi all, I have a 1950 Buick wagon and am trying to figure out how the brake pedal around at the floorboard.

 

From what I can tell - other than carpet - there is nothing there.

 

A sketch or drawing of some kind would be very helpful.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Matt! Is this all there is? For some reason I thought there was a more elaborate sealing system. 

 

Many thanks!

Wait. Dumb question. Is the floor board piece around the pedals there? Take a pic with the carpet up.

Hi Dave… no, there is no ‘floorboard piece’ under the carpet.

 

What is the floorboard piece and where can I find one? Are they being reproduced by anyone? 
 

Thanks a million for your help!

So with the carpet up you are looking at a large square hole in the floor and you can easily see the pedal linkage going to the clutch and master cylinder (and the ground)? I am not sure about 1950 cars but my 40 and 38 both have a small rectangular metal panel with 2 holes for the pedal shafts with slots cut above them. You slide the cover over the shafts and it screws down onto the floor pan.
