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

[redvobra at aol.com]

 I ran into the same problem with my '72. Jaime and I cut out the metal box around the e-brake lever. Made our own bracket for the e-brake lever, made a new cover for the bracket, and made a shift boot for the e-brake lever. Seats fit good now.

Need more information.   What kind of car do you have?

The two-pod dash interior has a parking brake cover that is a piece of 
sheetmetal covered in naugahyde.   The one-pod dash interior uses a molded hard 
plastic piece, which has a kick-out making it quite a bit wider than it needs to 

be.

Which kind do you have?   I know that the early style will fit with a later 
console, because that's what I have done in my car to make room for my Recaro 
seats.

Mike
