Progress returns…
Well, received my radio din plate from a board member. Nice piece, but of course I had to modify it.
Got the opening marked and hole delicately cut out and die grinded smooth.
After installing the plate I decided it was a bit large and it touched the ash tray a tad. So, I shaved off the flange around the edge, smoothed and brushed the entire piece.
After getting the plate installed, I took the engine harness off for the second time so I can fish it thru the firewall. I then located a place for the ECM under the dash.
It's to the right of the pedals bracket and directly between the gas pedal and brake pedal and the bottom of the ECM is even with the lower edge of the dash.
I then made a couple brackets to secure it.
The bar at the top of the pic is a piece of angled steel that connects the ECM housing to the dash. With just two attach points the ECM is very secure. Next I just need to drill a hole in the firewall where the old clutch rod used to pass thru.
