That got me thinking, do a forum search! It seems I found two similar (same?) kick panels.

1. Seems members are mounting the Vent hardware on the kick panels?
2. Looks like at the very least the passenger side needs cutting/trimming near the firewall.
3. Yanking on the parking break to make it clear on... this one scares me.
4. no using the high beam or relocating it.


kick panel speakers ? (Post 15)
kick panel speakers ? (Post 16)
67-72 Kick Panel speakers
Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers

So unless I am making my own, which I am not that good at crafting, I need to make these work.

So the question do I hack them up or try to mount the vent hardware. Then O'what to do about the parking break..... ugh.
I did not do any fab work on the pass side, the kick clears the vent and the vacuum pod that controls it.
My drivers side, didn't have a pull connected to it, So you are on your own there. The parking brake is just a gas wrench and a few taps of a hammer.
It was not hard.

I would need to see the driver side vent and pull location and linkage to even think of what to do/change.
Again, mine didn't have anything connected to that side vent.
