Okay I lied
After I adjusted the bellcrank angles, I can't get into 1st anymore. No matter, who needs that anyway
Completed linkage:
All kinds of clearance for the exhaust now
Whacked the bottom off the core support:
I'm going to build a framework to carry the radiator such that the bottom is kicked out enough to clear the steering box.
I'm going to build a stand right where the board is sitting on the spacer block in this photo:
Like this: (don't mind my hen scratch)
I'm using a '67-'72 style mount, turned wrong side up.
Debating if I want to notch the stand, so I can slide the bolt into it from the side pointed up, or if I drill an oversize hole into the frame so that I can just put a nut underneath and have the bolt stick through. Thoughts? My inclination is to not drill holes in the frame, but there's really nothing being supported up at the front there.
