Ah, Chris, but the diagonal steel gusseting that contains the pedal boxes
for either right or left hand drive cars are the same and that's what is
causing close clearance for Daniele.

Of course, we (I'm using the the royal "we"), of the right hand drive
persuasion, (the correct way these cars were designed and assembled),
have no idea what you are talking about!!
There is no way that "we" can have our carbs interefere with "our"
pedal boxes. And that's the way they were made.
Good clearance? Geez, they are on the other side of the engine!
At least they are in my Healey!
;-)
Ok?
