insane work! I want a swaybar too now!! How was that to install?

ksbrktracer · 05-04-2010, 10:43 PM

Hey Jlaird.....The clamps you are using for your brake lines and air line.....made 4 you brand ???? How rough a time did you have bending up the lines, did you make patterns out of steel before you did the stainless ? Any problems flaring the stainless other than having to have a 37 degree flare tool ? Sorry if you have answered the questions elsewhere. Tryin to decide what to do with mine.....really like the way you have yours layed out, gonna steel some of your Ideas.

OK, back to the steering column. I wanted to make a reinforcement panel on the firewall where the column passes through. I gave me an excuse to use my REINFORCED harbor freight bead roller which is now a beast!

Here is the Flaming River Stainless tilt column and the Ididit mount.

Upper column mount is also from Flaming River.

Wouldn't all that work to slick out where the column protrudes through the firewall hole appear better w/the nuts on the interior side of the firewall vs. the engine compartment side?

**67cheby** · 06-05-2010, 02:49 PM

that is a clean looking setup

or step it up even more with the cover that completely hides the hardware.

VA72C10 · 05-04-2010, 10:43 PM

Looking really good!

jlaird · 05-04-2010, 10:45 PM

Here is the bead roller. I still want to add a steering wheel to it.

This is the back where I added the square tubing.

jlaird · 05-04-2010, 10:49 PM

Some more holes filled on the firewall tunnel area.

Here is a pic of some ads I bought off ebay for the garage.

ksbrktracer · 05-04-2010, 10:52 PM

One other question, your power brake booster...who's is it, what brand....I really like it too.

jlaird · 05-04-2010, 10:58 PM

OK, time to smooth out the dash where the dash pad used to go.

I cut these out of a piece of steel exhaust pipe because they had the same curve as the dash.

Tacked in place.

Ground smooth. Yes, I'm a Jr. fan. LOL

Swaybar was a snap to install.

Yes, http://www.made4uproducts.com/ There is more info on bending stainless in this thread. I did buy steel lines from the local parts store and made templates with them before doing the stainless. It takes more time, but when you have a line with 100 bends in it and you screw up the last one, you will not be a happy camper!

The booster is a 7" diaphram from CPP as is the Master.
