Got your PM - Sorry been a hectic week but will call you next week~


Uploading a new video now which will be available here in a few hours - http://youtu.be/8iZO-lNw5Hc

I was hoping to have the parts for my intake in by now but unfortunately took longer then expected due to the custom size - guess 3.5" 120* mandrel bends in stainless steel aren't that common :/ Anyway that along with my 4" intake piping and couplers should all be here Monday.

Been keeping on moving with little things and continued on with more wiring. Got the cable for the throttle pedal extended as well as the gas pedal mounted! The wiring is somewhat non standard as the pedal cable is not only wrapped like the rest of the harness but also has an additional layer of EMI/RFI tin/copper sleeving over it so which I found at a place called wirecare.com. Ordered 10 feet of it which cost about $27 with shipping which is a lot cheaper then some places were offering it.

The throttle pedal itself could probably be done a thousand ways, but in lieu of spending waaay to much time creating a masterpiece that no one will ever see except you all I tried the KISS method. I made the mount with a flat piece of steel which I rolled the edges to a 90* bend on and a piece of angle steel bolted to the sides and viola! I also opened the holes in the sides of the main mount to give some adjustability to it. On the floorboard there are two small raided channels which I welded the side plates to on the left, then on the right side it was close enough to the center tunnel that I just put one longer weld on it. Bada-bing - we got gas!

Always open to ideas and suggestions so feel free to chime in... Here are a few pictures until the vides finishes~
Thanks!

**********************
For these who wanted to know more about the transmission mount spacers I made here ya go~ These are a bit crude as I could only get 1/2" aluminum plate and not a bar but they will do the job. Just basically drilled the appropriate sized holed in the drill press then cut the spacers to size. I'll probably make another set later once I get some aluminum bar or may make some out of round bar... hmmm yeah I think i'll make the next ones round to match the mounts!

Thanks

would a stack of fender washers work ?? , you could tailor the thickness

What are you working on that you have 10mm fender washers laying around from?!?! Just kidding~ Yeah as long as they are large enough I'm sure that would work! I started off going that route but decided to go with a chunk of aluminum in the end for a bit of an easier installation and somewhat cleaner look
