Emergency Brake Cover

Hey Rich I saw you were interested in a pic of the e-brake cover that goes under the dash in another post. Here is mine. The base flange is a little larger than original though, I had to repair it. If want more detail let me know.

Just got back from a 2 day road trip to a Red River, NM car show.
Thanks for posting that, Lynn. That's completly different from any info I previously had. From what you are saying, that (metal) cover is one that was on the car and that you repaired it? Makes me wonder if it was a later Ford fix for the composite materialed one.

It is not metal it is that funky "paper mache" stuff (although I think it is oil based). I made a wooden ring out of model plywood and slipped it over the outside of the ball. I then caulked it on and painted it. It seems to be holding up very nicely. You might be able to make one out of a plastic ball.....

Wow...never would have guessed from the pic. Great job on the restoration....lol...you may be one of the few on the planet that actually has one.
For some reason I thought the oem one was rectangular.
I've already made a replacement cover , but nothing that look like that or as good as that.

Thanks, I remembered the one one my '57 in 1963 so I know this is more or less the correct thingy!
