RE: 61 standard shift T-Bird |

i didn't say it couldn't be done (i know of several) but ford never offered it. any cars are either preproduction mules or homebrews. 61's are easier than 62/63 due to the availability of the fixed column. the 62 and 63 all had the swing away and there is not much room under the dash for the extra pedal. there is only 2 inches between the left side of the brake pedal and the vent on the cowl. if it had a fixed column you could change the brake pedal to hang down on the right side of the column instead of the left and that would leave room for a clutch pedal. here is a pic in case you have never been unfortunate enough to try and stick your hand in there! the only space in there is where the wiring is run and there is no place to provide a good bracket to support the left side of the pedal. i have an extra pedal and hanger and am going to try to build a reinforcement to support a pedal hanging off to the left. i think linkage is out of the question so i am looking at hydraulics or a cable. hawkrod
