Default Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"




Here we see a factory goof!!!! You know these things happen, and here's documented proof! This is the clutch pedal bracket that helps hold the clutch pedal in place. On the firewall there are two dimples (all cars have these). If the car has a 4spd, these dimples are drilled out and then a bracket is installed with two studs. Those studs go through the holes on the clutch pedal assembly and are secured by a nut/washer combo. Well, I guess the line worker snapped a stud off, it was hammered over and a bolt/nut was installed in it's place. The hammered over broken stud was covered with sealer when they installed that in the gaps at the firewall/inner fender union. Pretty cool!!!!! You can see the factory Hemi Orange paint on the boo-boo too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



Here's the clutch pedal assembly removed, you can see the rate marking on the spring, and the two holes that brac ket goes through are at the bottom of the picture.


A better illustration. So do I keep it this way or make it right? Now why do you even have to ask that! Of course it's staying like this!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
