Got a few more pics of the Under-side of the Shifter Plate I installed in place of the Hole for the 6 Speed. (I reused the mounting holes for the Rubber 6 Speed Boot)
Just used a little bit bigger Bolts instead of the Small factory screws!
I also used RTV "ALL OVER" the plate and the hole to keep it sealed from any moisture that could possibly get into the car. And, This will all be covered with POR 15 or Undercoating anyways.
Under hood shot, with the hood closed! IDK Why I took a picture.
Trans Tunnel Shot, Before the Undercoating goes on...
Heres some pictures of the Brake Line Install I did in the rear of the car. What A PITA too BTW! I ran around town all day looking for the fittings and etc. that I needed to install everything without cutting lines and flaring the ends.
*I hate doing that stuff!
** I got too long of a Line on this side, I'm gonna grab 1 thats just a little shorter next time I get around to it, and change it out so it doesn't look like crap everytime I look under there. ** It's just me being picky!
Drivers side Brake line was just a bit too small, but It fit just close enough to still fit in the bracket on the reaend. Although it's not bent how i wanted it to be.
Found an Adapter for the ABS Block, This Prevented me from cutting the line and changing the fittings and then flaring the line back together...
I didn't like the look of the fitting, so for now, It's getting covered until I can figure something else out..
Found another fitting for the Master Cylinder, Ran a smaller diameter line from the M/C to the Proportioning Valve, and from the Proportioning Valve to the ABS Block with the other fitting...
Took a few pics with the hood closed to check for clearance... I had plenty!
AND, The finished product. Not the prettiest IMHO, But It sure beats the hell out of Cutting a ton of Brake lines, and then having to flare everything all over again. I will be the first person to admit, I hate it... And I suck at it. But i can do it, and keep them from leaking. So I guess that's still a Good thing. lol
And heres the last pic of the Brake Lines, Proportioning Valve, And Line Lock Kit that I installed today.
**The Line Lock was a friends of mine, who lost his life due to a car falling on top of him while installing his transmission. (RIP PurdueRanger)
So I def. wanted to install this kit over a different 1.
**It's the least I can do to make him a part of my car build.
I also decided to place the Proportioning Valve right next to it, b/c I figured it was easy to get to if I needed to replace it for any reason. And also, I kinda liked how all the lines went over there on the drivers side. It added some Extra Attention to the engine bay I think.
I'll add some more pics of my progress with the car soon.
I'm just not quite sure what I wanna tackle on it next...
