Also i dont like the way there is a gap open to the clutch right on top that water can run in. I decided to make a cover.

Here is the gap

Did you also add the nut/bolt for the 3rd hole in the firewall for the clutch pedal?

your efforts will pay dividends when I am throwing my swap together. I can't thank you enough for all of the pictures you have taken to make this thread a visual experience. It is awesome to see how close you actually are to getting everything hooked up to make driveshaft measurements.

Wow so much custom work has gone into this swap. Hopefully it will all be worth it in due time. do you plan on mass producing some of the custom parts you made?

I didnt really intend on mass producing any of the parts. I do already have one person asking. Honestly, between work and family I hardly have enough time to do my own stuff. Perhaps after I get my car back on the road I will have a little more spare time but then again I dont know if this car will ever be deemed "complete"

Car projects are never "complete" they just keep going because one day you'll think its done, but then the next day you want more...

can you post CAD drawings of some of these custom parts you made?

I may do that. I am preparing to lay them all out in AutoCad so I have it documented.

OK, Last mod to the adaptor ring. I dont like how there is nothing holding the rings together for the upper half. You can see them want to seperate if you use bolts to long so I decided to fix it. Couple more holes and some countersunk bolts and its all fixed up.
