Tunnel brace

[Bahnseye@aol.com]

I have one on my '66 1600, and it requires a bit of twisting and turning to 
get the tranny out, at the point where the shift lever bolts in.  I've found 
a high angle on the front of the engine, and twisting the engine to the 
driver's side will eventually allow me to clear the brace.  It usually takes 
me a good half hour to get it back in place.
I've often wondered about removing it . . .
