Driver's side shelf delete?
 
Has anyone done this and felt good about it?
I took the shelf out recently to replace the clutch master and I really like the leg room I get (I also have size 14 feet).

I've done some other (hopefully tasteful) aftermarket changes anyway, so the car is not a pristine stock look to begin with.

If I do this I would delete the metal brackets that held the shelf and probably replace the pedal covers.

My '81 did not come with one, and I added it. There was much more room without installed. Mine is an auto, and only size 12 foot. The brackets are only held (console side) with 1 bolt behind side panel.

I deleted the shelf and the 2 mounting brackets. I have a knee bolster from a gt i am parting out and will see if I can retrofit it.

I took mine out. Easier to get my feet in and out.

Thanks guys.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't going rogue hillbilly.

I miss it personally; my 84 and 86.5 had it, but not my current 78. Maybe I'll ditch this one and get a later model for the shelf:to_order:





































note - just seeing if Rick, Jim or Kevin are paying attention:thumbsup:

Think I've had mine out since day one 17yrs ago, and my feet aren't that big either.. :)

Different strokes for different folks . . . I removed the GTS knee pad and installed a shelf in its place. Of course in my case, when I did the 3 gauge panel in the ashtray location I needed the shelf to have a place for the re-located cig. lighter.

Its vestigial.. from when Porsche made proper drivers' cars.

:icon107:

PS - OP, you should buy a new rubber bit for your brake pedal. They're cheap, and one of only a very few places on the car that actually say "928"

Pulled mine out 10 years ago and have not thought about it since.. Until right now :)

I have that strange left pedal as well.

both came off about 10 minutes into ownership...

I'm in the market for both shelves... PO said they came with the car, and now I can't get ahold of him. When I have talked to him he says he will find them for me. It's been almost 2 years...

I liked mine, kept my wallet and other essentials in them but removed them anyway.
They aren't very heavy and are very functional. shoe size 13.

Same here but only 14 years.
