Thank you Dozer, but that hardly seems right, I get to watch you install your steering and learn things for my installation, and, you give me a sunvisor, too. [dr
Thank you.

Thanks Guys, just glad to be able to help out a fellow member.

With the raising of my motor and transmission I got more ground clearance, but created some brackettery problems. Slowly I've been raising the mounts that I had previously made on the bellhousing cross-member. Today was the clutch and brake pedal mounting bracket. It's been cut apart and remade, two and a quarter inches higher and one quarter inch rearward, then primed and painted.
Dozer are you cranked up to go to Lethbridge next week-end? [dr

You bet Hoping the weather breaks for us a bit.

Me too Dozer, this morning it had warmed up to -42 C when I first looked out. This is getting old.

You got that right

The pedals are mounted in the car and are 1/8" too far ahead [with no adjustment method]. Now there's the little stuff to do. I'm making an adjustable clutch linkage and rebuilding the pin holes so they are the right size and shape. I will need to mount a return spring on the clutch assembly. Then there is the brake actuator rod to engineer and build.

It's the "little" stuff that takes all the time Mac.
As far as the pedal distance goes....Thicker soles on your shoes.[ddd

Torchie, for two reasons, I don't want to nail two-by-fours on the bottoms of my feet. It hurts like the dickens, and the brake pedal rod screeches down the tin floor now so I have to trim the hole in the floor a wee bit. [ But thank you for the thought. [ddd

 

[DozerII]

Super glue works with out the pain.

Three days and counting

Actually I've never thought about lengthening my legs as they are ridiculously long now, [sometimes a problem when making a '30's hotrod].
We are cranked right up, Dozer, to get to the swap-meet. We'll start out Thursday afternoon. Four of us are coming from Grande Prairie.

Me too, I'm hoping the weather system that is coming in Friday isn't too bad.

This will be one of those weird progress reports. I had engineered and built a pivoting lever and rod brake actuating system that was kinda complicated, and then installed it. Late this afternoon, I looked at the almost finished product and a thought flashed through my mind. If I'm a little bit unconvinced about this contraption, what will some mamby-bamby inspector think of it. So I ripped it all out and started Imagineering all over again. I've got a simpler plan now, ---- I think.
I didn't take any pictures of this regression, and it sounds like I couldn't have uploaded them anyhow.
I didn't get to meet Dozer at Lethbridge, dang, and I was looking forward to that.

 

[DozerII]

I hear ya, spend hours on idea, design, and execution, only to sit and [S and start over

And yes I was looking forward to meeting as well.
