Seeing the road
I noticed it the first time I viewed my van and it's puzzled me a bit. I can see the road through the hole where my accelerator mech goes from the pedal through the footwell to the linkage. The Haynes Manuel shows a cover that will do the job and brickwerks list one but for a lhd t3 only. I've had a really helpful chat with them but the covers don't appear to be available for my bus, so my question is have you made or bought a cover to protect your mech from the weather/road dirt?

RHD never had anything. Access to the pedal linkage is a Braille job anyway....

It's how you judge the road position over the white lines in fog!
