Since new or NOS are so few and far between, I'm going to clean the rubber off the original one and modify the metal so the new slip-on one will fit.  Nothing worse than having your foot slip off the pedal.

This pad is nearly impossible to find. All the vendors sell a brake pad for these cars but it is the wrong design. I bought the aftermarket pad that looks like it, but it is a different size and is a slip on. The originals were formed around the metal mount. I actually ground off the old rubber and the shape of the metal mount does not allow the new pad to slip over without major grinding or cutting of the original mount. I watched ebay for about 7 years and got an NOS one about 2 months ago. It was the only new one I have seen advertised in years. If you aren't concerned with originality, buy the one that almost all the vintage ford vendors sell. Bob
