Accelerator pedal mounting area
The fiberglass mounting area for my accelerator pedal is becoming weak. Anyone deal with that before. Adding more stiffining plates or ?

Hi tp,
I believe there's supposed to be a metal reinforcing plate on the engine side of the firewall for the accelerator rod mount... is your's there?
It was riveted to the fiberglass.

Yep, the plate is there but not large enough to take the wear and tear. Just a desing flaw. I'm going to try to lay new fiberglass on the inside of the firewall. And if I have to I'll try it on the engine compart side too. Thanks guys.
