George i got the lever buddy, i did send you a long email of gratitude for cutting the rivets I slit the heads off both sides of the rivet with a fine slitting disc, then hammered a wedge between the angle and the armour (being carefull not to bend the angle bar but enough to load up the remains of the rivets) then used a center punch to bang them out... when they let go they dont half make a bang. A hand held air hammer with the spike attachment works good too. I am looking for an accelerator pedal as mine is rusted right through so if anyone has one lying about i would be interested.

George is there much difference between the lever you gave me and the carrier item ? it was a dodge one wasnt it ? i cant recall... it was in mint condition i was expecting a rusty lump
