Reply to "Roll Cage"

I want to add that if you use lowered floor pans like I did, there is somewhere in the area of 1-1/2 to 2 inches that the seat can be located to the center of the car.

That's about the maximum I personally go as a driver to the right.

Because of all the strange angles in the cabin, moving the seat that far to the right re orientates your foot and the accelerator pedal.

For me, that stresses my leg out a little.



Too many years riding horses modified my legs to be so bowlegged (in the wrong direction for the Pantera) that I can walk over fire hydrants without walking around them.

I am past thinking that I need to be surgically altered to fit into sports cars COMFORTABLY. I KNOW that I need to be.

These cars were all made for the likes of Jackie Stewart or other European Jockeys. It's some kind of a small man's revenge thing?

Not only is there less headroom with a cage but there is less hip room with even just the roll bar getting into and out of the car.


Something else I saw in my car but never in anyone elses, is the original accelerator was twisted to re-orientate the pedal to the outside of the car, relative to the new fancy black anodized, grooved pedal in there now.

I asked everyone I could about that pedal, and no one had ever seen it before?

Just saw that pedal the other day in my shop, looking for something in the "Pantera" drawer.

To me, it looks like it was made that way, and not modified. Let me ask again here, have any of you ever seen that before?

I would think most Pantera owners would never notice that unless they changed out the pedal to another one?

I can post a picture of it if anyone wants to discuss that as an item of interest?
