I installed the rubber grommets for the speedo cable, water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure lines that run to the gauges (pictures coming tomorrow). I received my oil filter sandwich plate and installed it and the oil temperature guage. I started to install the remote cut off switch, but failed misserably at crimping the battery cable.

Here is the short list of things I need to buy and install before the body goes on.

1. Speedo Gear
2. 90 degree spark plug connectors
3. Electrical tape
4. Small screw for throttle mounting bracket
5. Test the relocating the brake pedal down 1/2 inch for a firmer pedal theory.

I took the car out again a few days ago, this time with the seat more secure. The brake pedal was way too soft, and it was hard to stop the car. So, I've spend most of the last few days trying to get a better feeling pedal. After many failed attempts, tonight I got it a little firmer. I'm going to hold out claiming victory until I drive it again.

Tonight, I also bent my brake pedal and clutch cable to be more perpendicular to the floor. This also gave me a bit more room between the brake pedal and the throttle pedal, which were a bit too close to each other. I'm very happy with they way they came out.

Over the last week, I also did a few other minor things to the car. I got the side pipe hangers fabricated and mounted. I installed the oil pressure line from the engine to the guage, and the water temperature line from the engine to the gauge. I ordered a steering wheel trim ring, and got it installed. I also made a few trips to the auto parts store and lowes for some hardware to install the emergency cut off switch that I had ordered. I have some parts on order: speedometer cable, and an oil temperature sandwitch plate (goes between the oil filter and the block, providing a place to hook up the temperature sender). I need these parts to I can finish hooking up the guages.

I decided not to go with the rubber shifter boot that comes with the kit and ordered a nice vinyl one that matches the kit supplied e-brake boot. I also bought a trim ring for the e-brake handle that matches the shifter trim ring that came with the kit. You can get an idea of what they will look like in the picture.
