Re: A 1969 Federal P6 3500S Nada refurb.
Good work Dave,
I never knew the pedals were floor mounted, I have an NOS p5 pedal but the are just straight. I did look at re-manufacture which is possible however when the company asked what it was for they weren't keen on making they because they would eventually fail in the same place making the part safety critical
I reckon they must have borrowed the pedal from some other car perhaps an American job? it s a shame that Ian Wilson is no longer with us as he would know either way. Did you ask his son or dad Joseph? I seem to remember that winns bought everything from rover classics but werent interest in the NADA parts which he was able to keep selling so worth asking if you haven't already because he did have a lot of nos bits.
For carbs I would give gower and lee a call, I have used them a few times and I still have a set of HS6 carbs under the bed which the refurbished to concourse spec so look as they would when new and not blinged up. Cost was very reasonable and worth every penny, They were able to source a replacement carb due to one being unsuitable for refurb.
Also worth mentioning David Green who does P5s. He will definitely have a manifold, carbs and AED to suit the early V8 and is also a reasonable guy to deal from.
