Thanks Kim....more homemade stuff on the way.
As many know, along with swapping engines comes the need to convert cables and linkage. Before I started working on this truck the accelerator was converted to a cable. I wasn't able to use, nor did I want to adapt the bracketry that was on it when I got it, so the fabrication begins.....
After making the paper mock up I cut the beginning of the accelerator cable mount.
After bending and shaping.
Starting to fit in place.
Added a 90 degree gusset for strength. Interesting how cutting the inside of the gusset changes to look here vs if I left the gusset as a solid piece.
Now for the transmission kick down bracket. There is gonna be a long flat area when done. I've found be adding something such as the Chevy bow tie will busy the eye ball and the flat area won't stand out.
I've been trying to figure a nice clean mountig for the return springs. Once again I have to build in a gusset for strength. As I was making the gusset I added a leg for the spring mount. I made it long enough to drill extra holes for options of spring tension.
Once assembled everything has it's place now and secure also.
