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)

byndbad914 - I will definately have to move the seat over more. Since it's a race car, I can do some drilling. Most porsches are offset for some reason. I was thinking of moving the pedals to the left, but it won't work for me, because the M/C's are so long, I have to cut into the firewall and mount it farther forward.
Neo - I saw those pics, thanks. I wonder how much of the firewall was cut to fit? I had to chop mine up to do make clearance for the M/C's. Overall, I did this so I can have nice solid pedals to use, and good M/C's. the gas pedal is dope. Soooo smooth, and not wobbly. I have to cut the tunnel, and mount the pedal a little more crooked to make some clearance for heel-toe action, and also make sure I dont' step on 2 pedals at the same time. |
