Subject: Re: V12 pedal rubber
[img][/img]
Hi Peter & Bruce,
Here are pictures of the pedals from my V12. Here you can see a complete original, the other original disassembled, and replacement rubbers I bought probably in the early 1980s.
As can be seen, the replacements have threaded steel studs for fixing. One can see traces of perished rubber on the reverse side of both pedals, so the original fixing was either via a pair of mushroom head shaped mouldings on the rear of the rubbers; or that the rubbers were literally cast hot onto the pedals.
The rubbers were not flat at the back, but had a triangular section bulge which mates with a depression in the bronze pedal casting. This bulge has detached from the original pedal rubber, and can be seen still in situ in the pedal. You can see the bulge in profile on the pedal rubber sitting sideways at the top of the second photo.
Hope this helps.
Laurence
ps ... Bruce, you need to look at other V12s! A distinguishing feature between the visually similar LG6 and V12 is that, on the V12, the horns are hidden behind the "bosoms" of the front apron. On the LG6, there is some rather awkward panelwork which has the trumpet section of the horns exposed, with the domed section hidden.
