New '69 four speed disc brake pedal?

I restored my original as best I could, but wouldn't mind having a new one. Am I waiting for NOS or is there a repro I don't know about? Any idea what the NOS units are worth?

They are not reproduced, and NOS ones are very hard to find. In the past I have taken an NOS pad and carved the rubber out to put the disc brake medallion into it. Works just fine and if you do it right it will look as good as NOS when done. Your original cleaned up pretty nice!

I have also done the same thing for two of my cars. The Camaro insert is the same.
If you are fortunate enough to find a NOS US made pad they fit a bit better, in my humble experience.

I was wondering about that. If you took a square Impala brake pedal could you carve out the center and then install a Camaro "DISC BRAKES" medallion?

Not sure if the Camaro medallions are the same size.

Also I wonder how you could cut the rubber out with a drill press short of "burning" it out with a wood bit?

It's my new side business... producing 4-speed disc brake pedals :-)

Thanks to Jon Krogh,I was able to get my hands on a very rare needle in a haystack some time back. A NOS "cheap-o" disc brake pad. Wasn't cheap, but worth every dime to me. Amazing how rare some of these items are becoming.
