I'm probably going to install 6 1/2 inch speakers in my kicks panels, which will mean they will protrude about an inch. This is fine in the passenger footwell, but it'll get in the way of the parking brake on the driver's side. I'm building a center console, so I figured I could just get a handle from a newer car and put it in the console. Have any of you guys seen it done before or have any tips?
Any of you move the parking brake lever?

If you can wait a few weeks, we are doing this very thing in my '69, changing from a foot operated parking brake to a hand operated one.
I will have pictures of what we did ... and probably some advice on what we shouldn't have done.

Interesting. Didn't think of just moving the pedal over. The fuse box might be in the way, though.
Nice overhead console. I'm putting in the same one. :beer:
Alright! Considering the pace at which this project is moving, it won't happen for a month anyway. I'll keep an eye out for your post.

My car is a six speed manual. Three pedals in the floor are plenty ... don't need another. Plus it would be .... inconvenient ... to have to reach so far down to release the brake in a tight spot.

Does anyone have these kick panels?

It says they interfere with the parking brake on '64-67 models, but nothing about other years, so does that mean it'll be fine in my '69?
