Default Bulkhead panel pedal access

Hi all,

Do you bother making the driver side of the bulkhead panel removable? How do you do it? Permanently fixing that panel would make pedal adjustment quite awkward if at all possible.

I made a removable top panel for my pedal box and it is very very useful. It is fixed down to the top rail with rivnuts. Have a look at my gallery 3 and there are lots of pics of my panelling out including pics of my panel about three quarters of the way down.

Thumbs up

A great idea

After having to alter things on my pedals during the build, it would,ve been so much easier having the suggested access panel.........instead of my legs stuck up in the air with my upper body in the footwell

cheers
andy

Thanks, David, that's exactly what I've been thinking of.

Mine has an access panel held down by rivnuts and button head bolts. very handy if you ever need to work on the pedals in the future.
