Re: 1952 1 Ton Rebuild

Welp,
I made some progress on the go pedal linkage.
The CAD drawing was just a 10 min sketch to show some people what I was thinking. Later on, I decided to have the "teeter totter" part curve the other direction.
The purpose behind that, was I was afraid that as the linkage approached WOT, the arm would run into the firewall.

I know the work holding isn't the best, but it was easy to set up and this part doesn't need to hold a ±.001 tolerance.

In the pictures of the linkage on the engine, I managed to balance it for the picture. The next step is to make the pivot bracket that will hold the "teeter totter" piece next to the firewall. After that, I just need to hook up the pedal, and we'll be good to go!
