I like the dead pedal as stated on long highway cruises. I don't know why, but I'll forget it is there and then rest my foot on it and it just makes it more comfortable. You wouldn't think something so insignificant would make any difference, but it does.

My 86 Mustang had that. I really liked it and wished my Cougar had one. But as mentioned, it goes where the e-brake is. sigh.

Based on my experience I'd bet it comes down to what you're accustomed to, my Cougar was my first car so I've always been used to it not being a thing even when I put one in it. My Focus daily has a dead pedal molded into the carpet but I don't often rest my foot on it

My Camry has one molded in and I notice that I don't use it. I slot my foot in between it and the brake arm. I'm 6'5" though, so that may be why. I still plan to run the OEM dead pedal whenever I get by bird together because I know it should be there. I tried to run the molded one with the Mark VIII carpet back in the day but I never really took the time to make it fit right.

@1997ThunderbirdLXV6 let me know if you go back and are able to get one of the dead pedals to sell. I'd like to try it on my setup.

Will do.

I don't have a request for the second clutch pedal as of yet, nor any other items, so I'm not currently planning to go back. It's about an hour drive for me.

 

[Kidd-7]

I’ll buy the clutch pedals, so go get the dead pedal for Kenz. LOL

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

I’ll buy the clutch pedals

Wait, you want the second set, too? At the same price?

 

[Kidd-7]

Yes sir. I mean if you wanna give me a discount I’ll take that too. LOL

 

[Kidd-7]

Unless I’m the one that is buying the first set, I only need one.

Yes, the first set is yours. Sorry, I haven't packed them yet; that's why I haven't provided the shipping quote.

Ok...one set for you. You had me confused for a moment.

 

[Kidd-7]

I was confused also. Take you’re time no rush.

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

Ok...I made my way back here, because why not, and the brake booster thingy is blocking one of the clutch pedal nuts!

 

[Kenz]

That sucks... Looks like it might be accessible with a flex head ratchet wrench or a socket u-joint.

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

I realized I could move the brake booster thingy once the brake pedal was off. Just weird that the 91 didn't have that.

Picked up one dead pedal, too.

 

[KevinVarnes]

The brake master cylinder and booster thingies changed in '93.

 

[MadMikeyL]

89-92 had the Teves ABS system, so no conventional brake booster.

 

[XR7-4.6]

Both are actually Teves systems, the 89-92 system is Teves II, where the 93-97 system is Teves IV
