Temporarily installed the rack today. Still need to find some properly sized bellows.

Also did some work on the braking setup. I am taking advantage of the extra room with the body off to locate and install the pedal assembly. I am using the originals from the car and adapting a 1970 VW Bug master cylinder. This mc is intended for four wheel drums, but I have used them before on 4 wheel discs with good results.

It only required elongating the mc mounting holes and a little filing to open up the opening on the pedal assembly.

I sandwiched a piece of 3/16" metal plate between the two to create a mounting system

Only needed slightly longer mounting studs

Also cut a couple of strips of metal to sandwich the body sheet metal. The roll cage tubing is located beneath these strips. The holes are for welds to the tubing. The uprights that hold the upper strut mount come up thru these strips and will be welded together.
