For gas pedal clearance, several builders have cut a relief into the side of the tunnel. I vaguely remember FF offering a kit to do that even, or maybe it was someone else.

In the manual they show installing a piece of aluminum but I'm not sure I have that piece. I only have one unidentified part that may be that piece they are indicating. Regardless looks like I'll have to do something. I squeezed the left side of the tunnel in about a half an inch. Really can't go much further without interfering with the clutch fork.
Anyone have pics showing where they passed the main harnesses through the tunnel or firewall?

Does anyone have pics of the relief they cut in?

I cut the relief as per page 543 in the manual.

Did your kit have the aluminum piece included? I checked my parts list and there is nothing shown. I wonder if the tunnel has been changed, mine is the two piece unit and after shifting the left side I only have about 1/4 inch clearance to the shift fork. Just wondering if I could even get any more foot clearance??

Checking your build thread it looks like you have the two piece trans tunnel like mine. When I called FF tech about the aluminum part not with my kit or shown on the packing slip, they told me it is not needed with this tunnel. I can understand since I was able to move the left side of the tunnel over to within a 1/4 inch of the clutch fork. There really would be no need to add the panel except for possibly some clearance at the top.

looking good! I made mine removable. But most likely will remove batt from underneath if needed.

That's what I figured.
