I need to "trim" the center tunnel a little so my pedals can fit better. How much of a structural factor is it to the car? see pics. Attached thumbnail(s)

Boxing the pedal area is what I am going to do. I am making it easily maintainable.
There will be a box, somewhat. The pedals will drop in on one piece and bolted to the floor. Then, an aluminum cover with Dzus fasteners will cover it up and prevent debris from entering the cockpit. It will be fully sealed with rubber (hehehe), to prevent water from entering as well. Removing the extra stuff on the pedal won't happen. It's cast, and I need it for a foot support and to run the throttle cable. Tilton pedals, from ebay with master cylinders, $225! CNC brand gas pedal, $35 from Pitstopusa.com. I think the Tilton pedals are usually $250 w/o m/c's. Metal plate - $2 from metal shop. |
