A little more on the ute.
Speedo done.
Shifter cable done.
Exhaust fitted.
Oil cooler mounted.
Having dramas with the shifter bracket its ran out of thread so ill cuta new one 15mm different.
Also had a stuff up i ran the shifter cable out the side of the tunnel but the angle at the shifter stopped this working .
Turned out allright as it was in a  perfect place for the speedo cable.
Just need to make the stone deflector for the oil cooler.
And rear exhaust tip hangers.

1 quick job at work for the morning new shifter bracket to sort out the adjustment issue.
I spoke to the dyno shop about the travel on a B&M pro ratchet and he tells me they have always been out of alingment if you do it as per the instructions.
So put it in low and adjust the pin on the box.
When you put it into park theoretically it should be loose and perfect but in fact its 3mm out so it therefore  doesnt go into park properly so he sets them all up in the neutral position so its a happy medium.
I think i will re cut the bracket on the box with the shifter hole 2mm up that will make the radius smaller therefore giving me that 3mm im looking for. (I worked it out on solidworks)

Holidays are finally here.
Hopefully a bit of time on the ute.
Brake assembly all powdercoated and installed.
Vaccum line installed.
Booster all painted.
Another drama i have been dreading.
The column is too long so after 4 hrs i worked out how to disassemble a ididit column and shorted it.
All shear pins re installed the same .
I chopped 60mm out of it.

I agree the column looks better after the shortening. I love how the brake booster sits in its own little dimple. Looks impressive. Great work Pete.

Bit of time to myself today.
Bled the brakes  , will need a hand to give them a final bleed tho feels good.
I have been umming and arghing what to do with demister vents .
I dont like how original ones sit with where  i have my heater core so i made this up today.
Finally got to use my shrinker and stretcher then ran the curves thru the english wheel to straighten out.
Fits perfect very very happy.
I will urethane it under the dash








And my heater control

Great ideas Pete..  Where will you mount the heater switch or control ..  in one of the original spots on the dash near the speedo or new location along the dash..?
