I just finished this modification this weekend. The backpad middle section is removable so that I can get to the firewall access panel. The middle section has been recovered in black leather. It seems to match the vinyl fairly well.

Here's what it looks like in place.

Very Nice!

That is great idea for 6 conversions too. easy access for dizzy, belt and timing. (I know flywheel marks, but just as easy with the pannel to look at the pully.)

I want to do this now...well not right now...
