[DeTomaso] Clutch Master Cylinder and Shackle

[Art Stephens]

     I beg to differ with you on this one Mike.  Now if I had "Little Girl" hands like yourself,  it might be different :-))).  This was truly one of the best modifications I ever did to my car.  The hole is covered with a round piece of sheet metal painted black and secured with three small sheet metal screws.  From a sound deadening point,  you could just add some Dynamat to the back of the piece.  The first time I saw this in person was on Dennis Daley's car,  and I was immediately sold on the idea.

  Oy.....:<(

  All you have to do is get up under the dash and fiddle around a bit.  There's no need to go chopping noise-inducing holes into the car.

  That reminds me of hearing about a guy who needed to pull his gas tank and was too lazy to pull the engine and gearbox, so instead he just chopped a big bloody hole in the firewall and pulled it out into the cabin.  He never bothered replacing the sheetmetal, and the subsequent owner couldn't figure out why his new Pantera was so hot and so loud inside!

  Same mentality at work...:<(
