just to share, here is the latest concept 1929 Pedal Seal Prototype D.1

using the photos provided as well as input back from cabboy think we have narrowed down the shape, based on the metal inset he cut out, and the rubber shape overall.

the metal plate is sealed and embedded in the rubber, and is not present where the cut will go (the slit in the top) looks like a large offset "C"
seems both the left and right are the same piece, as they are chamfered on both sides, so you just flip it over.

feedback, questions, thoughts are welcome...

i am going to try and do a 3d print of the metal inset tonight and test fit on my 1929, as well as print out a full size seal (as seen below) for fitment and spacing.

3d CAD of Protoype D.1 Top Side

3d CAD of Protoype D.1 Bottom Side

ok, so did a 3d print of the inset of Pedal Seal Prototype D.1

came out pretty nice 1/32" thick, same as steel inset

holes line up, and it mates up to both the rubber outside and the pedal plates

also did a 3d print of the rubber of Pedal Seal Prototype D.1

came out pretty nice .26" thick, same as measured on current rubber sample

holes line up, and it mates up to both the metal inset outside and the pedal plates

did a test fit of a standard #10 flat head slotted screw, which is what holds this to the pedal plates

the chamfer is dead on, the screw head sits flush with the top of the rubber

here are a few of the metal inset next to the rubber body prototypes

also side by side on the pedal plates, metal inset on the left, rubber on the right.

question now, is since these are pretty thick, once you install them, IF you try to use the rubber floor mat, then it would bulge around these seals. and not sit flat on the floor.
