Motor's set and bolted in - and the transmission cross member's loose, ready for frame re-drilling.

I'm going to fab a new emergency brake "tongue" to keep the original rig - to tension the cables running to the indicidual rear brakes. Butchering up the rest of the pieces or remounting the original cross pieces for the take-up isn't worth the effort. I'll take the original center piece to the shop and duplicate it in length that's about 1.25 inches longer.

No sence in going nuts with a very simple device, or messing with different cables and such.

Took the two ignition wire looms off and I'll hack off the last station where all four wires go through and that will clear the firewall and still look decent. Didn't get a chance to drill the frame yet - but that will come soon enough, so the tranny's setting on a block of wood and my mini-jack until then.
