GO PEDRO GO PEDRO!!!  ;D

I wanna see some close up pics of your engine bay mate.........pretty pls.........after all it's sort of your fault remember that inspired me to go away from a warm red and retrotek it.

I can't wait to see it finished so get it sprayed during the good weather  :P

Good luck fella.

Cheers

Deano.

[pedro]

I'm not sure what you specifically wanted to see Deano so I took a few shots from different angles, hope these help, I haven't bothered painting the extractors or dressing up the engine too much as I'm going to fit a recoed engine and turbo setup once i'm through rego.

Pedro, you will need to add a brace onto the  booster to stop firewall flex when you stomp on the anchors. I needed this in the van.

I dunno JB - reckon Pedro would never be going that fast....  :D

[fe350chev]

Thanks heaps. Our town is about to go under water tonight  :o, lucky im out of town on a rise (near Horsham).

Thanks heaps for pics. I was more worried about the gaps at the front of engine. What would have you done different if u did it again in terms of engine fitment. Is that an xb falcon booster or holden and gemini booster? where did u put clutch master again? is the floor pedals from VL recommended or do u think just as easy to fabricate the whole thing yourself?

Cheers

Put in a V6 ;) ;D, seriously though there's not much I could have done differently, the engine can only go in one spot as it fills the whole engine bay,
with the way the intake manifold sits I don't see how you could  fit a clutch master cylinder setup unless you fit it under the dash somehow, the booster is a Commodore one with an altered bracket, I used the FC brake pedal with a Commodore footpad welded to it, the rod will even fit if you make the bracket the right size, the accelerater was easy just drill out the spot welds and use C'dore bits.

I was hoping I wouldn't need it as the bracket is so short and the booster is pretty solid, I hadn't thought of the firewall flexing though.

Nah not me I'm a respectable driver, just like Jack ::) ::)

I'm pleased to hear that, Pedro  :)



Now, about that brace for the booster...   ;D

[EffCee]

I wouldn't have thought that the firewall would flex that much. Is it common to have to fit a brace for the booster?

I learnt about the firewall flex when I did the van from a very early post on here.  When tested it moved about an inch under pedal load. To fix this I made the battery box that screwed onto the booster, out of the commodore there is also a bracket for the flex. Just food for thought.

G'day all, well we have finally moved, the contract on the old house has gone unconditional and we have signed a contract on a place here in Boonah, the FC is being stored in a mates shed for a few weeks until we move in then I can get back to work on her, picked up my Triumph the other day and I have been riding every opportunity I get ;D ;D ;D

Hey Pedro, congrats on the house mate bout time things went your way :D

And maaaate what a bike, very very sweet little trumpy, and nicely colour coordinated too. ;D ;)

Pedro

Good to see all falling back into place.

The Trumpy looks great not sure of the model standing with it though ;) ;) ;D :D

Can't wait to see your wagon up and running and on the road.

Boonah isn't too far from where I live. I sometimes head to Beaudesert to see Rod from Rod's Racks.

Might catch up at some stage.
