Re: Project SHKNBK

A little brake booster modification. With that bracket behind it it stuck out about 20"! Unacceptable.. I was going to bend up the brake lines today but I couldn't stop staring at it, it's just so ugly. Its much more tolerable now.

Yeah, they do stick out quite a ways. It isn't as noticeable after you get everything else bolted in there.... And the hood on...

Getting there! I'm hoping by the end of next week the long block will be assembled. I'm dying to hear this baby run!

How did you get the left lower patch to fit???? Mine lays nice along the bottom but the top edge is bowed way out.

All edges of mine layed flat. Didn't have to fiddle with it at all really. Was your panel stilling around for a little? Maybe it bent a little

It’s been on the shelf for a couple years. It doesn’t look bent. I’ll spend some time with it again tomorrow.
