KIck panel installation question
75 coupe with A/C
Passenger side kick panel (panel that fits on outboard side of footwell).
Interference between new kick panel and vacuum actuator and mechanism. I do not see how the mechanism goes through the panel.
Do I need to modify the panel or does the mechanism go through the panel somehow?

I am not sure what you are doing wrong. Yes, the actuator goes through the panel. Do you have the panel for an A/C car?
The passenger-A/C panel with cut-out for actuator is shown on the bottom.

If your aftermarket panel need to be machined for additional clearance, just use a little cut-off wheel on a Dremel and make clean cuts. I'm not so sure that the factory (or their supplier) didn't do just that for the A/C pieces.
