My pedals do not have the diamond plate pattern. Has anyone ever put rubber pads on the brake and clutch pedals?
If so, what did you do, or where did you get them? I considered cutting rubber and using an adhesive, but from a safety perspective it seems they should be more securely attached. Thanks

Maybe put some bumps on the pedals with a wire welder.

I don't own one, but that is a good idea I could bring to Midwest Military, down the road from me. I am sure John would do that. I was thinking there would be a rubber solution someone had come up with. Over time the paint wears off those pedals and they get rusty. Thanks

If you have the smaller, square pedals that came on the late CJ-3B/early CJ-5 that were designed for rubber pads then those rubber covers are currently available. Before that pedal change, I don't believe they were used.
If you wanted to cut your pedals down so that they fit inside the rubber cover, that should work. I don't think I'd rely on glued pads in a panic stop in traffic. Seems that's when they'd slip off.

Agreed. Adhesive would fail. Although my panic stop from 30 mph would likely have to include a contingency plan of a bail out. I have new brakes but, yah.

I know the feeling, 30 mph and a hard brake, hard swing to the right and jump !

My 47 has those smooth steel pedals without nubs. Both of the The 48s I had were stamped steel with nubs. The WW2 Jeeps used cast pedal pads which had nubs, and as already said, the CJ3B up into CJ5 production had square metal pedals with the rubber pads.
If your steel pedals are in decent shape I would trade you a set off of a CJ5 which will take the rubber pads. The CJ5 pedals I am talking about have some chrome trimmed rubber pads which were an aftermarket thing back in the 60s and 70s. They are perfectly usable as they are, but you can get new rubber pads matching originals from Walcks and several other suppliers. They are not expensive nor difficult to install.

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

Mine are smooth, so I found an aerosol sanded clear paint that's done the job for 5 years now. Great thing is, I can touch it up anytime I need to.
