Next problem is mounting the clutch master cylinder. I ve been trying to avoid pulling the body off but this one has me stumped. 2 options for master cylinders

 

If I use the normal reservoir I need to relocate 60% of the crossmember. If I mount the remote reservoir on a 45 degree angle and figure out some way to mount it it could work. Need some perspective here.

 

I'm thinking I need to use an extention like the brake master cylinder.

 

Yep, an extension just like the brake master. Then you can use one access door through the floor to service them both.

Since it looks like you cut the middle out of the only crossmember you have in the middle of your frame, make sure to install a good replacement. Whether it's a hefty jog in that one, or a whole new one spaced back farther. They are really needed or else the whole car will creak and groan as you drive, the paint around the doors will chip as they move, and you might even have a door pop open on a drastic incline.

 

I'd find a bellhousing that puts the trans flat rather than canting it of to the side. I always hated those when a customer would bring me one of the canted bellhousings to us in his chassis.

 

Crossmember reinforcement

 

I got the brace installed. Looks like enough clearance. Now onto replumbing brake master cylinder around clutch master cylinder and plumbing clutch master.

 

The fun part - making sure the shifter fits

 

Alright back together ready to go to muffler shop to get exhaust pipe rerun around the clutch pedal. I've got an issue with the brake pedal linkage that I need to get a part made for. After that ready to be back on the road just in time for winter.

 

Next project is the steering wheel. This one came out of my Grandma's garage years ago. Is it a 39? For a steering column has anyone used a Limeworks column and have feedback?
