Default The CHICK fixed it!

Thanks for all the help with my accelerator pedal!
The 6.00 dollar (tiny plastic part) came in with the 18.00 dollar shipping... and YES, I did the pretzel thing again. Fixed it all by myself and did not even have to pull the seat.

Thanks again, you guys were GREAT!

Good one! The 'Pretzel Thing' is just a prequalifier for either a Yoga class or a course in Kama Sutra, depending on your preferences!

You know, it is kind of sad to admit I have reached the age.... I look at these women in aerobics classes and my first thought is, "She could get under my dash and fix the fuse....."

Plus, women have smaller hands!!! Unlike the big man mitts, that you have to contort, fold and bend, just to get at some of those areas!

OH trust me, that would not have been a pretty sight.
Feet up on convertable top, butt on the seat and face jammed against the brake pedal, and both arms deep under the dash!

But it might have been good for a laugh!

Next project... I think I have a rear break dragging. After that, I get to work on a droopy right headlight.

I might be asking a lot of questions!

Don't forget the carpet hairdo and the wonderful feeling of a mag-lite in your mouth! .

The truly fun part, is having to 'unwind' yourself out of there, if you've spent any amount of serious time, underneath the dash. Boy, those old bones and muscles, sure remind you of just why did you buy a C3!
