You can just use some rubber (perhaps a shoe heel) that is a bit bigger than the pedal and stick it on with some Gorilla glue. Clamp all around with 4 clamps to get the curve. Then trim to size.

This is a problem I have also encountered.

I want to preserve what remains of the 'Light JOWETT Cars' logo cast into the faces of the pedals.

There were very perished rubbers on them when I acquired the car in 1966. They had a series of concentric grooves in the face and the word DUNLOP in very small font in a circular area at the centre.

The pedal surfaces are rectangular, about 2" by 3" and I have so far been unable to find rubbers that either fit or could be adapted.

I have made a couple of covers using left-overs from the ribbed sheet I used to replace the running board covers, with strips attached round the edges with a PU body adhesive. These seem to work OK but it would be nice to get originals (if they are not perished!) or at least modern ones that actually fit.

I suspect that some commercial or industrial applications might offer a solution.

Any ideas out there?
The devil is in the detail!
