Mark I now see the parts list posted by sixnotfour and it shows that the six
shares the middle shaft with later four cyl. cars, not early ones.
I'll review my parts book listing.




Clearly shared part with later 4cyl. cars ....but without part numbers attached to a part
and being unable to measure a installed part I cannot be certain which is which.

Preparing for Hershey.
Had to remove front bumper and spoiler to complete some details.
A couple pics.
Looks like I'll be refinishing my jack soon.

Interior and carpet details.
My new carpets had no formed recess for the hand brake.
My seats ?....same issue.
I did not want to make cuts and just hope for a clean result.
Here's what I came up with.

I thought the carpet was recessed with heat, rubber mallet, contact cement.

I was researching this yesterday. Looks like some are able to glue the carpet in shape. A lot depends on the stiffness of the material.
Found some cases wher carpets were formed with wet carpet was formed with a heat gun and pressure.

The carpet does have a 'plastic' backing and the supplier said to heat and hammer it into shape.
I didn't like the idea of gluing the material only to have wrinkles and be
unable to fix it. The square weave carpet was big consideration.
Also the car has a longitudinal kit that made the recess very irregular.

I really like the fiberglass piece you made.

Way to think outside the box!

Makes sense and it’s your car so....
Amazing build.

Maybe I'll notice it on a long trip.
I've only been on the highway for fifteen minutes or so a couple times.
Doesn't seem intrusive.
I might use it as a base for a dead pedal.
