63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)
Hi, yeah I know~ I'll be on this for a while :lol:
Template time~ it's easy to do this with no dash, brake assembly out of the way, the pattern is a little higher where the CMC (clutch master cylinder) comes out due to the angle of the dangle
The white material is 3/16 aluminum sandwiched by the steering column retainer, still had mod the CMC hole in an oval fashion. Once I'm happy with the aluminum
piece, I'll buy some 1/4" plate, get Gary to buy me a new plasma cutter, then I'll make it myself. May not be a pretty as the one that do it professionally.
this is pretty much how it will look~ getting the angle of the CMC is a little challenging. just noticed I have the steering column plate upside down! grr
A couple things here, I need a shim with an angle to it, like 1/16 to 1/4", however cut up bondo spreaders work pretty good.
A far fetch thought was to take my porta power and push the firewall from the ledge where the back seat is and push it forwardly. But shims would be
safer I suppose. Fabricating this to be with reproducible results is quite challenging.
Once i'm happy, I can order the hydraulic T.O. bearing, but will be a couple weeks as we're leaving for Philly in a few days:(
Took a couple more pics~ pics make the world go around ;)
