I got the day off of work today, so I got a little more done.

I finished up the clutch master.

I drilled a taped the clutch pedal for its new linkage mounting location.

I also got to use my new vice for the first time!

I also welded in a nut for the clutch master upper mounting hole.

Then I extended the linkage.

Then I extended the linkage for the hydrobooster, I used the old adjustable linkage from the old power brake booster that was installed.

So having been trying to come up with a way to mount a bunch of AUX switches for lights and all the other feachers I plan on adding as well as maybe a gauge or two. But I could not come up with a way to make them look good that and I did not want to drill a bunch of holes in the dash.

I came across this sexy beast a few months ago and I thought about doing something similar. It would give me the perfect amount of space to mount everything.

So I cut out the data sheet as I was planning on having a new one made any ways.

I bolted the dash in for mockup.

I was trying to decide if I wanted to angle it up or make it flush.

I was going to weld it in but I decided to make it removable. So I put it in to the sheet metal brake.

I welded two tabs in place.
