I'm working on the installation of my pedal cluster (Tiltons) and I could greatly improve the ergonomics if I could shift them left.
'Cept there's that bit of chassis in the way... pictured below. Any reason I couldn't remove the whole thing? I figure I could fab up some reinforcement but I wanted to ask if anyone has info on the potential impact if I lose this section of material? Thanks in advance for any help. Attached image(s)

It's actually a hollow channel that runs all the way to the front trunk.
It reinforces the front half of the pan and follows the curve of the steering rack cavity. If you cut it, you probably want to add some strength back in there somehow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
