I am 6 foot one with long legs as a result I am much more comfortable =

Since we are on this topic I did something similar to Richard. Under the =
insulation boards on the engine side of the foot well I put a layer of =
Kool Mat. On the inside of the foot well a layer of Noico sound =

I eliminated the two piece metal tunnel and tunnel extension and used a =

It gets fairly warm on hot days but it does not get hot.=20
I can drive my car in 90 degree weather and my feet stay cool. =20
