Got the pedal box in on temporary bolts (getting dome heads for clearance), and the brake bias set up. The bias looks a bit agricultural in how it works, but time will tell if it does the job.
Painted the dash Matt Black as well.

Hoses on, not an easy job.

Will you be adding electric windows ?

[eyepeeler]

Nah Neil, sticking with the old winders.

Im gunna come round with a white spray can and paint that mirror for ya

[eyepeeler]

Will probably need to attack them flares with a saw or grinder to get massive rubber on the front too

You know you aren't far from being right for a different reason. I have 480mm from centre bolt to outside of rim. It's 490mm from centre of chassis rail bolt hole to inner of flare!!
Good thing it's only a 225 tyre on a 8" rim.

You don't like the poo brown mirror???
Guess I better get it done,

Hi Brad, I had thought of fitting grommets but I drilled the holes 0.5mm under OD of hose to get a tight fit. They were a bitch to thread through. Figured that would be ok.

 

Update on stuff, no photo's though.

Been working on some bits and shits, got the door locks on the front doors fitted, fitted the stalk for the door locks LOL.

 

I caught up with 355LX on the weekend, was great to catch up and shoot the breeze. Very excited to hear about the Pro Touring idea for his new project.

He also offer some used 225 45 16" rubber from his Targa days for me to use to fit up on my car. Very appreciative mate.

 

I have re-ordered some parts that I got wrong a few years back.

On order is:

Quicktime 6036 Bellhousing

Tilton 51-4452 168 tooth Flywheel.

ATL 80 litre foam fuel tank FIA approved.

 

What I will have for sale is:

Quicktime 6010 Bellhousing

Tilton 153 tooth Flywheel

Tilton Super Starter

 

All those parts will suit a SBC. The bellhousing mates to Saginaw, Muncie, Richmond, Tremec TKO

 

So if you know anyone who is building a SBC, let them know about these parts??

Interesting time I'm having with the Clutch disc pack as well.

Tilton think that between manufacturers 1 1/8 and 1 5/32 Clutch input shaft diameter can be the same thing.... WTF??

The clutch input shaft on my Jerico is 26 spline by 1 1/8" or 1.125". How would a clutch disc with 26 spline by 1 5/32" fit??

 

Anyone know something I don't........

[N/A-PWR]

Hi Craig,

not sure about the splines fitting, but this Link, shows the Nominal O.D being the same:-

 

http://www.powertrai... Pack 7.25.html

so maybe, they just got mixed up with one and not the other

 

 

 

edit,

just re-read the other bit, looks like they can both come in 26 spline, and both have the same O.D., but we would have to ask for that

Interesting link, thanks for that Dave. Funny that they have Jerico in the line that shows both.
Maybe they can refer to either dimension and they are the same, doesn't make sense though cause there not.

[N/A-PWR]

That is Strange indeed Craig,

was thinking nothing would come up, but Bingo it did.

[eyepeeler]

Well done Dave , the info you found is true!! Good stuff mate.

 

I have just had confirmation from Jerico that 1 1/8" and 1 5/32" are the same. Who would have guessed.

 

So I'm good now to go ahead and order the Clutch disc pack.

 

[eyepeeler]

Been doing bits and shits and boring stuff. No point taking photos of that!!
All parts I have ordered are on the way.
Bellhousing
Fuel tank
Clutch disc pack
Fly wheel 168T
Painted a few things today, bumper brackets and headlight backs. Boring, no pictures.
What is worthy of a picture is the diff. I finally got round to unpacking it! Only taken 4 months. How tough is that.
When a few things like tyres on rims, getting stings and shocks for the rear and getting bushes in the trailing arms in, I will bang it in snd get the measurement needed for the watts.

[eyepeeler]

Nice Diff Craig... What are the mounts for that the cradle is bolted to? Swaybar?

Hi Clint, those brackets will be part of the 3rd link arm that will be manufactured later.

[eyepeeler]

Oh I see... Look forward to seeing that, so the upper arm mounts wont be used or the lower?

Lower arms will be used, upper arms will be made redundant. Uppers will be installed as per rules but the bush will be sponge.
There is a bracket under the centre of the diff, the plan is to run some SHS from that bracket up to the gearbox mount. The arm will follow the length go the tail shaft. The brackets I used for the stand in the picture will be used to strengthen the arm. May not need it, not sure. I have seen one that did it that way. Easier to have the bracket and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[eyepeeler]

Clint, have a look on page 10 of this thread and you will see where I am headed with the 3rd arm. Post 233 and 245 I think.

What rear discs and calipers did you settle on?
 
Those rear wheel studs look wider then your racing taxi's rims/tyres. ...... LOL

The caliper is an AP Racing CP5200 and a CP3580 295 dia 28mm thick disc.

LOL, long studs they are.

[eyepeeler]

You didn't want to add adjustment to your diffs lower trailing arm mounts? That way you can fine tune your rear IC and squat. Fine tuning your f/r weight transfer gives you that drive esp out of corners. Also depending on your 3rd arm/watts set-up you can really make a live axle not so bad with the right rear IC range adj.

Would love to mate, that's what I would love to be able to do. Haven't seen that before though, you built that yourself?
Unfortunately the rules of IP won't let me modify that from standard. Will have a look again as it's been a while since I looked at that part of the rules.
