Having had the access problems working on the pedal box, I have considered an easy way to make the scuttle/firewall assembly removable. Obviously there is a lot of stuff bolted to it now but the option of hinging it forward would increase the working area within the footwell. The other side of the coin is that when the clutch cable saga is sorted, will I really have to work that much on the pedal box to justify the mods? In the end I think not... but I shall bear it in mind.
