<VV> Accelerator Cut in Carpet

[JRG478 at aol.com]

I am getting ready to install my new carpet in my 67 coupe; I have a couple  
of questions.
 
1) How does the accelerator come off - nothing in the shop manuals that I  
can find. 
 
2) What kind of a cut do I have to make for it - How much of the shaft is  
actually on top of the carpet? 
 
Thanks, Jay - '67 Monza
