I thought I had a set of pedals lined up for my 71 Cuda but the seller seems to want to hold on to them now.
I talked with Dave at Roseville parts and he has a kit that adapts your automatic pedals to a manual setup. Has anybody used these before. Do they function just as a normal set up would. Does it look the same. Thank you
I have not seen this set up, but I don't think an auto brake pedal will fit next to a clutch pedal.

Never thought about that but, Now that you mention it :yes:.... Maybe you trim the brake pedal down? :notsure:
the upper mount is the same , you just need the extra support bracket & longer bolt , maybe the comes with both pedals the linkage & overcenter spring :notsure:
here is it from dave I'm pretty sure.

and here is the page that has the ebody one from brewers. not sure if they are the same.

Wondering if they would look and function the same as a real set of manual pedals
Ok so yeah 2 pedals support bracket & OC spring
Looks like the same kit , slightly better price from Roseville + discount
anyone see why this would work or function as good as a original? Any member run it?
looks to me like it would work just as the original system would , they used 2 pedal shapes though so it may be the wrong look for your year
it looks like they have the proper 70-71 pedals
That would make more sense as the 70/71 are more likely to be restored correctly & are worth more as well
The original assemblies were built out of individual parts. This kit simply provides the individual parts to convert the auto pedal assembly to a manual pedal assembly without replacing the whole thing.
I'd go for it.
I put this set or something similar in the last resto mod Challenger I did.....functions as it should. :alan2cents:
I used the pedal assembly and hydraulic clutch setup from Silver Sport Transmissions in my car. Works just fine and takes stock pedal pads/covers.
did it look like the originals or was the spacing off alittle?
A long time ago when I converted my 70 Gran Coupe from auto to manual i found that the 70-71 pedal assembly was way more expensive than the 72-74 units. The only difference I could see were the shape of the pedals. Since the 72-74 pedals are bigger I just used that assembly and cut the pedals down to the 70-71 size and bought new rubber covers.

they are way cheaper you are correct. The 72+ pedals are bigger and could be cut to the same shape but the arms that the pads are attached to are shaped different. I though about doing the same thing but I'll keep my search going or try this conversion kit
