[DeTomaso] kick panel clearance

[Mike Drew]

All,

Mikael Hass sent me photos of his Pre-L after he did the mod. Before, the panel touched the pedal. Now he has about an inch and a half of clearance:



There is no good reason YOUR car doesn't already have this modification....

   All,

   Mikael Hass sent me photos of his Pre-L after he did the mod. Before,
   the panel touched the pedal. Now he has about an inch and a half of
   clearance:

   There is no good reason YOUR car doesn't already have this
   modification....

   All,
   Here's a photo of my car, which has an L-model interior and thus the
   hard
   molded plastic L-model kick panels.   These are MUCH better than the
   flimsy
   pre-L panels in terms of affording clearance, but there is still much
   to be
   gained by moving them inboard through the use of a simple screw, as
   seen in
   the attached photo.
   The Pre-L cars benefit even more from this simple modification....
   Mike
