Got the steering column added to the AutoCAD layout and discovered that there isn't enough room for the Prius v brake pedal system AND the Prius v steering column under the old Firebird dash panel. Well darn...



Onward to Plan B then! What WILL fit is the Firebird brake pedal assembly in its original position and the Prius v brake pedal assembly in ITS original positin. I will be adding a 4-bar kinkage link between them. Fortunately, I taught the college course on linkage design for 8 years, so making one that does exactly what I want it to won't be tough. The Prius v pedal iteslf and the lower arm will be removed below the link so that nothing can fall against it and jam the pedal.



Where there's a William, there's a way.
