Exclamation Sacrilege... I gained foot room...ask me how

Danger, Sacrilege and advanced modification ahead.

So I rotated the fuse box up to the lip the OBDI-II port is on...

I hope my fuses don't fall out now it's facing down.

so.
moved the port elsewhere. used it's hole towards the middle and drilled a second 3" towards middle, re-used it's screws into two holes the carpeted cover screwed into, cut a bit of the ziptie channel off...

Had to massage the air duct a bit to squeez the box up there, but it's soft plastic.
took a bit to gently and slowly flex the wiring loom into the new position
(removed old wrapping, & combed it w/ my fingers)

easier w a heat gun I'd think (but carefully) on duct.
them trim down side cover to a sliver to protect the loom from your foot on entry.

To do it again, I'd heat the wiring loom a bit too when flexing it into new location.

then wrap in tape.

now a totally hidden fuse box, and tons more foot space.

Smile Mounts from stock sliders to buckets

My pal gave me a set of corbeau's glass buckets that actually fit my shoulders.

So, adapter plates to the stock sliders, and trim down the stock belt mounts too...

;-) Joy Shoulder room for ages.
and a "better" (for me) seating position.

I love a car that is awesome yet cost me next to nothing, I feel free to do as I please.
