[DeTomaso] Does the Parking Brake Lever Housing Often Interfere with After Market Seats? what to do?

[Ken Green]

Mike,

    It's an early 72 with a metal housing which looks like it's a lot bigger than necessary.  There was plenty of room on the driver's side.  If the seat pans are the same width, it seems like there should be enough room for a seat and a parking brake lever on the passenger side.

Thanks,

Ken
