12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
I got the vintage air evaporator mounted. This certainly would have been easier when the car was in pieces so I would have to be a contortionist to get under the dash. I obviously didn't want to drill any holes in the firewall so I made a bracket to come off the wiper arm stud. I also have it captured on a hole that was previously a hole used for firewall insulation that lands in the wheel well. I apparently missed that one when I was welding all the others up. Happy mistake! I'll make a couple brackets on the front that connect to the bottom of the dash next.
I also started fabbing up some new clutch linkage with heim joints. I may have over estimated the size of materials needed for this. That's 1/2' tubing with a 3/8" heim. Oh well, it will be sturdy and way better than the crappy factory linkage connections.
