Question about swapping the firewall plate for a 240 manual swap.

How has everyone handled the steering column portion of the swap?

I handled it by not swapping it, and drilling a hole for my clutch cable.

Me too. Ain't NOBODY got time fo dat.

Well, maybe if you were going to do an OMGSOJDM LHD/RHD swap.

One little bitty pilot hole, then a bit of hogging out with a cone bit until it was big enough.

I didn't even swap the whole pedal bracket, I just cut off the outer piece and bolted that in to support the outer edge of the clutch pedal - the middle part of the auto pedal bracket had all the holes in the right places. Also swapped the brake pedal.
 
Yeah, just drill it. a 9/16" bit or a unibit works, and you can get a drill up under the dash. As long as you get the hole in the ballpark, it'll work fine.
 
I drilled mine engine bay side. My "ballpark" was a little bigger than it needed to be, which was extremely convenient because the SECOND hole I made was only really able to be like 10% closer lol... it works though.
 
All y'all extra fancy. Hand crank and extensions. Just kidding. I attacked some of the holes from the inside and some from the outside. Which ever I thought I had the most control even if it was at quite an angle. Not to close is close enough in this case.
 
another +1 for drilling the panel. I went with the gymnastics method and did it under the dash after the old pedal-box was removed
