0-60....eventually
Howdy everyone.
Since I stripped down my new cab, I installed my clutch firewall plate witch I bought off Jason at the IDI weekend. Thanks again man!
Started be trying it out, and already was a VERY close fit, only had to bend it slightly and hit the firewall on the side just a lil bit with the hammer, and perfect fit
To hold it in place, used the 2 holes for the clutch master.
Just used 2 bolts I found
Next found 4 bolts in the glove box witch I think are from the steering column witch the scrap yard removed and stuck 'em in the holes around the column hole. And with the plate held in place, drilled the holes.
Outside view of holes
Cowl
And installed
Note: in this pic, i'm sure Jason will notice the nut plate is on the wrong side, I have noticed that after taking the pics and I have flipped it over. The off set was made to clear the molding of the firewall.
(I did not seal it with anything yet as i'm gonna remove it again, the cab has to go for complete sand blasting/primer) when it comes back, then i'm gonna install it and seal it.
The finished product
Total installation time took about 15 min. Having no glass on the cab and stripped naked sure helps
I just finish looking at Mel's write up on this (excellent write up btw!) and sure am glad I did this now since the cab is naked, was so easy.
Hats off to Jason for the great craftsmanship of his product!
