Hi All!
I have been playing with my new-to-me bus all weekend and found there are some items I would like to replace. The driver's area of my bus is in great shape, but the rubber pad on the accelerator pad is worn. I did an Internet search and found the manufacturer is Williams Controls (http://www.wmco.com/index.cfm) and the part number is 11875. The part is described on the Williams Control website as a "treadle assembly." I would think this would be a common replacement part as many buses I have seen have similar wear on the accelerator pedal. Anybody know where I can find a new one of these?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
Use anything to recover the pedal
There is the assembly on ebay for about 50 bucks if I remember correctly

Don't know what bus you have but many of the Williams valves use the same treadle.
This link to Muncie/Baker Parts is PDF catalog for Flxible 870
Part # 97 2387 152 at $22.62 is very likely the correct part. Muncie simply describe as "Cover." Whenever I've called Muncie they are great if you have a part number. Not much help without.

I bought the cover for a Williams from http://www.utxchange.com (http://www.utxchange.com) good luck
Try Brake Systems, Inc. in Portland Oregon who is a Williams Controls Distributor. They have a very large inventory and were always very helpful. They can be reached at 503-236-2116.
A piece of ribbed flooring glued to the pedal was a common fix in fleet use.
happy coaching!
