[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 15992891, member: 22571"] Well, I have not been idle, just feels like I don’t have anything done and I keep ordering parts. Sometimes I wish I could do things more half ass like others, it’s not like the car is pristine. Keep finding myself buying more things. A battery relocation to the trunk. A new Overflow. Paint for the engine bay. A 3G Alternator conversion. Sigh….. So to start, I was able to pull the brake pedal without pulling the entire assembly. I am honestly not sure if I will be able to get it and the brake pedal installed that way, but we going to give it a try ;) So here are the pedals side by side. [ATTACH=full]1512096[/ATTACH] Next I cut the stock pedal [ATTACH=full]1512097[/ATTACH] And awhile ago, I decided to splurge and get some fancy pedals. I got these from [URL="https://www.srpracing.com/"]SRP Racing - Custom Aluminum Racing Pedals[/URL]. Oh my they look cool [ATTACH=full]1512098[/ATTACH] Moving on, I had bought the Hydraulic setup for the clutch activation. Rest assured, after a few hours of trying to find a way to make this fit, it just won’t. In short, it looks like a previous owner (Here we go again….) decided to cut their own hole in the firewall and ran the speedo cable through there. Well, they didn’t cut it where I needed it. That aside, there is just no room. Assuming I could slot it to work, Id have to run new lines for the master cylinder and maybe move the brake tree.

I decided to order MDL’s cable setup. Now they were very clear that it would not work with long tubes. But given what I am dealing with here, I decided to order it anyway and work around it. More on that when it shows up. China 77$ headers! [ATTACH=full]1512102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1512103[/ATTACH] Actually seem to fit really well. Plenty of starter clearance. The #5 tube I can get my bolt in. Don’t have to worry about Z Bar clutch linkage. Welds seem pretty good. Guess time will tell.
