Thread: Followed Me Home II

Tweet

I tend to get hung up on details, and without really intending to I get stalled and basically all progress stops. I'd been fretting with the door fitment, worrying about just exactly how I needed to shim the body to "fix" it, and finally just fixed it! The gaps were close, and in fact too tight, so I adjusted to get them centered, then ran a tape line on the door edges and got after them with an angle grinder. In short order the doors are gapped, and they shut and latch right.

With that done it freed up my head to attack other tasks. Got the LOKAR shifter mounted and adjusted first:

Took me several tries on the NSS before I figured out to ignore the instructions and adjust it the way that made sense to me.... The transmission hump came as a separate piece, but of course after I thought I had already modified it to fit the 700R4 it didn't fit the shifter A bit more glass work and it was good to go:

Got the accelerator pedal mounted - not my choice, but the PO bought it so we use it. Who looks at a foot feed, anyway, right??

Got the throttle cable mounted, with a bit of massaging on the pedal to help it sit closer to the floor:

Started looking at the LOKAR floor mounted E-brake, but the seats are really tight together. Even though I already made some 1/8" plate pieces with seat mounting bolts to mount under the floor I think I'll move the buckets out about 1/2" out on each side to give just a bit of clearance in the middle. The seat back adjustment handles will be right up against the outer interior panel with the move.
