I've got the Shankle kit on my 74 Spica GTV.  The cowl drain hose can
interfere, but with a little patient adjusting it's pretty easy to get the
full range of motion without any contact with the hose.  The kit was on the
car when I bought it, I didn't realize it wasn't stock until it was pointed
out to me by another Alfisti.  I thought all this noise about trouble with
heel & toe maneuvers was odd, as I was having no problems.  Of course,
constantly jamming on the brakes as I go for the the clutch with my EE-width
flappers is a bit unsettling. . .  I should cut off the clutch pedal and
re-align it to the left.
