RE: 4 speed hump

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I cut a very large amount out when I converted my car George, and I have 
a fiberglass hump. You'll be surprised how far the trans sticks up into 
the floor. I took mine out as large as I could, a little at a time, till 
I was close to the hump. One good thing Mopar did was to dimple the 
firewall where you need to drill holes to mount the brake/clutch 
pedals...I thought that was a nice touch and make the install a little 
easier.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
