Also note that in spite of the "problem" of drilling a hole for clutch 
pivot-pin access in the side of the toe-box, the factory recommended drilling a 
smaller hole- circa 1973 for L-model Panteras- in about the same area for an 
emergency hood pull-cable. So if you're still flirting with disaster and haven't 
yet done this mod (TSB Bulletin 9, Article 64), the two could be easily 
combined. At some point, that stock cable will snap and on '71-'72-1/2 models, the 
front hood CANNOT then be opened without some destruction. FWIW- J DeRyke
