looks like there is lots of room if you plan it out.
cardboard works great for patterns.

You moved your pedals over so far that now their on the wrong side.

Also i think you have mice they chewed a hole in your floor.

Have you thought about changing to a hydraulic clutch then you have more places to put hardware everything doesn't have to be lined right in order.

I prob could have put a hyd one in but the mech one has worked well for donkeys years and its very light too and ..Im having trouble crawling around inside it at the moment I have to rest my back every hour for an hour :laff: old age

There will be plenty of room for my feet when i finish it this time

all the pedal levers are home made and i havent any room to put a clutch m/cyl either under the dash or in the chassi but thanks for the thought I do appreciate it

 

[old8ba]

this is under my seat which clips in I have the fuel tank on one side and my battery and storage compartment with lid I put a cig lighter in so i plug a trickle charger into it

 

[old8ba]

roughly cut out will start to dress it up later

I had a similar problem with my bucket when it was in it's Total form. I moved the brake pedal back about 6" to make a lot more room for my feet. The travel on the brake pedal is very short so it was not a problem. I am not sure how much travel your clutch pedal needs but maybe it is an option.

Good luck.

my major problem was` the trans tunnel i made. I put up with it for years but as im getting older and crankier ,(im told), I thought i better fix it

I have now gained enough room to rest my left foot I may put a foot rest there as well for some comfort in my old age ,it was either that or put a C4 behind the 8BA too much work for an old bugger

 

[old8ba]

almost there

bit of carpet left over from customline

That should be much better for the feet. I like how you have part of the transmission poking through the floor. I just might do the same in mine to give it all the room I can.
