Yesterday I worked on a way to mount the ALDL and the MIL for the swap in the interior. I decided to make up a bracket to hold both and mount them on the bottom of the dash.
Start with a sketch and then a AutoCAD drawing:
The make the part:
The hole on the left side is for the check engine light, should be here today. After making this one, I don't really like it. I have another simpler version that I will make if I have time before LST.
Later in the evening after dinner, back out to the shop I went to get started on the next issue I can work on. How to mount the seat...
I am using a rear seat from a '77 crew cab that was in decent shape I got for free. The bottom seat frame is wider than the '65 seat frame so I need to modify the OE brackets/adjuster to work with the newer seat frame. Luckily the rear mounts are the same width and space the mounts the correct spacing to mount on the floor. BUT the angle is all wrong. I will post pictures of what I have and what I think I'm going to do in my next post.
