Hole in the head project

[Flipper_1938]

I found this neat little item. It is a metal template that welds to the firewall and acts as a reinforcement. It is designed around a 4th gen camaro clutch master.....and a 2nd generation camaro firewall. I hope 4th gen pedals are similar enough. I also picked up their clutch master with the threaded rod. I gotta come up with the other end. Another plus to this "bracket" is that I can play with it on the workbench and figure out how to make it work without laying in the floorboard of a little car.....guessing where to drill holes.

Christmas for me.

In stock form, these cars have a soft cushy suspension. I'm shooting for something a little sportier. Knowing that I wanted a more truck like spring rate, I went searching for truck springs on marketplace. The mercedes has some really small coil springs. The closest thing I found was toyota tacome springs. I don't know what the factory spring rate was, but the toyota springs use heavier wire. Hopefully this works. If not, I'm only out $20.

I went to pull a part to pull a hydroboost off of a Yukon. I gave up (holy crap there is a lot of stuff under the dash of a later model chevy) and pulled a booster and master off of a 1994 Z28 instead. I guess I want a mullet-mobile deep down.
