I modified my 1978 Targa pedal box. The modification allows for more room in the foot on the clutch pedal to move unencumbered.
I was a bit nervous at first because I thought that the foot rest area was structural. But after removing it we realized that it was soft metal that was just taking up space for reasons unknown.
In this picture you can see the worn paint where decades of rubbing have been happening:
Another angle:
Initial exploration and discovery cuts:
Continuing cutting and cleaning up the edges:
Surgery complete:
Skin refreshed with some black primer:
Better than new:
Foot placement is much better and no more rubbing, and the car idles much smoother (that’s an inside joke).[/QUOTE]
