susser Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The front of the side trim in the driver's footwell adjacent to the throttle pedal is not fixed.It doesn't move much, but enough to just catch the edge of my boot. Should it have a rivet or two ?. If so how do I get to it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Are you talking about the inner side skin (leather grained ali sheet)? If so, the front end of this panel should be secured by black self tappers. This is so the 'knee trim panels' can be removed easily. Rivets are used from the front end of the door sill rearwards.

susser Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Guess I am. There are some holes from what I can see. I just had a blindingly simple Cunning Plan; I'll poke the Digi Cam down there onna stick !!. Brill. I'll do it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The edge of my shoe used to catch too, but due to the slighly raised chassis tubing in that area. I got around the problem by attaching a piece of "Ally" strip with silicone so there was no longer a step - works a treat and simple to do.

susser Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Guy, Tony C I got some pix (Put the digicam on a stick and used the self timer ); there is a line of holes in the leather covered stuff, and it looks like some screws were fitted that just cleared the end of the honeyomb. There's a rivet at top and bottom but they've pulled out. Guess I'll have to strip the pedal box to refit them. Gives me an excuse to get away from 'er indoors !.
