final mounting of the exhaust system is now complete.....basically just a few stainless tabs welded onto the silencer, will need nut covers on of course (hope they don't melt)
Also felt it was time to fit my rear wishbones so I can finalize everything underneath the tank (handbrake cable, pipes, loom).
One downside is I think my water pump may have a small leak, but thankfully they are cheap and only requires the timing belt to come off which I am used to now.....anyways here are some reprographic entities.

Well that's looking damn good Kev....:cool: :cool:
I guess it's nice bolting parts on you spent countless hours cleaning/restoring and fabricating and knowing they can stay on this time.:)

Your'e not half kidding John.....1/2 inch behind orgasmic:p
Gonna be fitting up the rest of the back end brake pipes (the porny ones from Sylvain) and then the tank will go in for the last time (I hope).....the local footy derby is on now so I'm off t garage.

footy was BRILL....while listening to the match I got on with the rear brake pipes
nice fittings from Sylvain made the brake pipe to drum nice and easy


My chosen method of fitting the other end of that brake pipe to bulkhead fitting




My simple "p" bracket made from 2mm Ally that makes sure the handbrake cable does not interfere with anything else


just about all done underneath the tank and everything is missing each other, no chafing anywhere.

been quiet for a few days , but have now moved on to finishing my pedal box, had it more or less built before but made the alteration to bring the MC level to the ground also I have drilled holes for CMC.....decided to mount both via captive nuts welded on other sides....hoping to paint it up later today.
here is the slightly revamped pedal box

Got some paint on my pedal box and it looks much nicer now..... over the next few days I'm gonna be starting to put it together ready for fitting in the car
looking like an Airfix kit....now wheres me polystyrene cement:p

Starting to put these together now....have made a simple Clevis from a piece of rectangular table leg that had the correct dimensions and it has made the clutch really smooth to operate which was quite a surprise.....so I am going to replicate it with the brake pedal.....accelerator pedal I am having a rethink about as I might use the 200sx's pedal to match the cable and throttle linkage, work in progress that one.

decided to re-hash my clutch slave as it was desparately close to the chassis, I was able to reposition the slave cylinder holder using a gearbox bolt and an additional hole and a longer pushrod (in red)

I have decided to change my accelerator set up by altering the nissan stock item so as to match up with the accelerator cable.
here it is before I get around to fitting it

Looking great as normal Kev you really have a great eye for detail, please tell me your going to replace the roofing nuts with something a little nicer? Everything else looks so good it would be a shame not too.
