    1965 Brake/clutch pedal mounting bracket

    I'm a new user of the forum and am currently in the process of restoring my 1965 Fuelie Coupe #5248 (Dec. '64 build). It appears that the brake/clutch pedal mounting bracket that mounts to the firewall is painted black as are the pedal arms. Is this correct? If so, is it flat or satin black. Thanks for any info.

    Terry, sounds like a neat Corvette. Have you looked at the latest edition 65 Technical Guide. I'd bet the info is there along with a lot more.

        Terry: Mike is correct; the current JG states: both brake and clutch pedals are painted semi-gloss black up to the actuating rods.

          Hello Terry
          welcome to the TDB, after all these years. Good to have you. Is your 65 Maroon? And by chance does the plenum have vin stamped on 4 times?

            Don, my corvette color is maroon. The plenum stamp was a double strike. John DeGregory restored the unit some years ago. The car/unit is listed in Noland Adams' book. Thanks.

              I will give it a look in Noland V2. It is also in Jim Gessner's 65 FI Registry. Look for Jim to get in touch for an update.

                      I did not realize how close your 65 FI was to mine in VIN number. Mine is # 5047.
