Dear Asa,
Hmmm. You have an L model Pantera. What is the VIN?
I wonder if that is an Italian assembly line spontaneous variation, a
standard feature of the late model Pantera L or the aftermath of a
previous job. My Panteras are 7000 series VINs and I hope that they
have the welding.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
PS: how is the Innovate field testing going?

do have a Pantera reference from Scandanavia, IIRC, which shows a
modification that uses a hole saw to cut an access hole in the
passenger side of the box about three inches in diameter. From what I
understand, it permits sight and access to the dreaded inaccessible
dark recess behind the dash. I have not done this job nor have I done
this mod, but from what I think I know, it could make the task a darn
sight easier. The original author reported that once the hole is made
and used and the job is done, then it can be plugged, tastefully, with
a common commercially available plastic plug. Perhaps someone has
first hand experience with this trick?

change a clutch master on the side of the road, it's a two person job (
one to hold a wrench under the dash and one the install the master) and
even then unless you have a dwarf with you getting under the dash and
attaching the push rod and getting access to the bolts is a nightmare.
If there is some "Trick" to installing the clutch master I wish someone
would share it with me!
