ABSTRACT:
A knee restraint member is constructed to have an adjustable length and has ends adapted for respective attachment to the side panel structure of the vehicle body and to the engine cover panel. Removable fastening means removably attach the ends of the knee restraint member to the side panel structure and to the engine cover panel so that the knee restraint member may be disassembled from at least the engine cover panel to enable service of the engine. The adjustable length of the knee restraint member allows for variation in the distance between the side panel structure and the engine cover panel. In one embodiment of the invention the knee restraint member includes first and second elements, such as stamped steel panels having their inner ends connected together by a slotted connection so that the overall length of the knee restraint may be varied. In another embodiment the knee restraint member is a flexible belt of material having a length sufficient to span the maximum possible spacing between the side panel structure and the engine cover panel.
