[V8] Accelerator pedal Cover Repair

[Michael Larosa Jr]

Steve,


Done this 4 times ....  2 V8's a 100 Avant and a 94 100s....  I used the
drill and screw method on the first one... on the second, couldn't find
the right screw...

I ended up drilling all the way thru and inserting a thick paperclip.

Worked excellent :)

Paper Clip stuck out a 1/4" on both sides, folded underneath so it stayed on,
This swiveled easier and didn't unscrew itself after a year or so :)


My .25


Mike,
