Accelerator Swivel HELP!!!
I am trying to install the accelerator swivel on my 67 Coupe as guided by the assembly manual on page G178. I have the nut plate assembly as shown. After several attempts at turning it this way and that way I am thinking that drawing is wrong and the nut plate should be outside the car. If I take the part that gets bolted to the nut plate and put it in the interior side it is straight. Any other way....the way the book shows it is canted forward or down. Am I right in assuming the drawing is wrong and that I have riveted the nut plate on the wrong side of the fiberglass? When mounted from the interior it allows the pedal to contact the lever squarely. Any other way it is not straight. If any of you know either what I am doing wrong or knows the manual is wrong I would appreciate knowing or if you have any suggestions I am all ears! Thanks in advance. Larry
