Mocking Up Firewall for Master Cylinder Studs

Power brakes mounted...


Removed...


As you can see the studs were sheared and holes were drilled into the brake pedal assembly...


Cut it out...


And that's what came out...


Cleaned weld area and made new patch panel...



Old vs. New Mounting tabs. They never got welded on as we started to get busy with school at this point...


Then the panel was welded in hopes of using the new mounting tabs as a mock up. Unfortunately it didn't work out and I decided to make a change of plans going with the new brake pedal assembly as I had a bad cut on the old one that would make it difficult to weld. So does it look like this panel is going to have to be cut out, a cardboard template made, new replacement panel cut and bent and rewelded in... Please say no... -_-
