Can someone point me to a thread that shows repairing the pedal box area? Finally pulled my 914 out of storage where its been for the last 10+ years to start the repairs that made me put it away all those years ago! I'm 47 now and have owned this car since I was bitten by the bug at 13! Time to get her back on the road! Still got all the other typical southern rust to take care of. Passenger long, lower firewall, rear trunk area, drivers jack post area, etc., etc, etc, This site and its members are truly inspirational and in invaluable wealth of experience and knowledge!
Thanks, Blair |

I don't have any good pictures of how we did it, other than to use the support bracket and pedal cluster as a sort of template to get an idea of how to transition the metal from the floor pan to the vertical master cylinder piece. Then I carved out a wooden "buck" of sorts to hammer the shape into the repair metal. Then, just welded it in. As long as you're careful to make sure that the bolt holes for the M/C and pedal cluster all line up as you go, you'll be fine.

Most important and hardest part. I think I test fit everything 10 times. Even then the bolt holes for the bracket weren't perfectly lined up. I needed to adjust them slightly. I had the pedal cluster bolted in with the bracket and the MC attached before I actually welded the bracket to the floor pan. |
