Re: 53 3100 - complete rebuild and upgrade . . . .

A little more of an update.

Since I decided to use replacement pedals (shorter) I had to move the brake booster a bit. After getting all the geometry right I had to decide how to "move" a hole, so I decided to chop it out and make a replacement. Added a few button heads around the plate to make it interesting? and tacked it in (it'll all be welded up once the fab is complete). Gun- drilled the pivot pin (5/8) and tapped for grease fittings, added bushings, etc. Pedals are nice and smooth with no play side to side. Yes, I'll have to clearance the inner fender a fuzz, but minimal. Mocked it all back up and now to notch for the go- pedal next. More later -
