Swapping pedals
« on: December 14, 2009 - 05:37:58 PM »
I'm getting ready to swap in 4-spd pedals.  Do I need to disassemble the entire dash to do this?

:iagree:
Taking out the front seat makes it easier on the back too. If I remember right there were dimples in the cowl where you need to drill the holes for the clutch pedal bracket.

If you are using it, the over center spring is a pita to put in. :swear:

Actually, I'm just going to use the clutch pedal to kick on/off the OD in my 518.

you just slide the rod out that holds the pedal, install the longer rod, still remove the vent box on the left and install the clutch peday stand.   Of course you have to unhook the brake light switch, and the brake rod and slider rod is bolted in
