Guys here are a few pics of a new tilt column that Jim @
[email protected] is building now,it moves the dimmer switch up to the signal light switch which cleans up the floor area,his columns are very nice with a variety of options.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/04/imagejpg3_zps36bd4b23-1.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg3_zps36bd4b23.jpg.html)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/04/imagejpg4_zps8e6ca7fb-1.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg4_zps8e6ca7fb.jpg.html)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/04/imagejpg5_zps924906bf-1.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg5_zps924906bf.jpg.html)

It is Clayton pedals but I cut off a drive by wire and bolted it to the standard Clayton pedal.

guys hopefully these pics will help,I started with a Grand Prix drive by wire pedal and cut off most of it if you can see the black part of the pedal arm there is not a lot left of it and drilled it and used the bolt in the Clayton pedal to bolt it together,If this don't help maybe I can get closer pics.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg5_zps7efbe4ca.jpg.html)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg3_zps8090ffdf.jpg.html)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg1_zps7b34bb01.jpg.html)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/04/imagejpg2_zpsd7fa247d-1.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/imagejpg2_zpsd7fa247d.jpg.html)

Hey tubbed69.. I have a very similar setup to yours and have a specific question related to the A/C controls on that dash.. My Covan dash is cutout similar to yours and I am using the same A/C controls.. How did you mount the control to the dash itself? Looks like you cut a plate to fit the hole, mounted the controls to the plate, and somehow mounted this to the back of the plastic Covan panel.. could you offer any tips on how you did this? Im looking at the A/C vent on the other side too and trying to figure out what I am going to do.. Thanks.

Sure,I made a template to fit the hole with 3 tabs to cover the 3 mounting holes in the dash and cut it out on metal and bent the tabs in the direction of the dash mounting holes and then cut out for the the control,on the a/c vent I used the non a/c housing and just blocked off the cowl inlet and ran the a/c duct hose right into the side of the housing,sorry but I dont think I have any pics of it.

Why didn't I think of that.. I was trying to mount to the panel itself instead of the dash structure like you did. Thank you, I miss the obvious sometimes.
