Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...

Here you go. Nothing major, but little by little...

Fuel filler spout received the same treatment as the rest of the tank (sealer inside, regular POR out). Here's the tank with the pump installed and the spout with new rubber and OG clamps:


...removed all the brake/fuel lines, clutch and brake MC's, and pedals.

Another loose end to tie up was the throttle pedal. I have not been able to install it since the firewall/tunnel was closed in. The design of the pedal pivot required it to be inserted from the right side. That was no longer possible as is:


So I cut the pivot rod on the inside of the right pivot point (the right side will take ~90% of the stress), drilled, tapped, and welded a bolt to the removed side of the pivot:




Result:


Next, this little guy was the final remaining hold-out for closing in the firewall completely:






...that's as far as I got today (only had about 5hrs).
