eBrake, Seat Belts, Mirrors

Transmission tunnel cover
Now that I had the eBrake mounted I was ready to put the transmission tunnel back in place.  I did not rivet in place yet. I thought I might wait just in case I left some tools under there.

Not shown but I also went around and all remaining body bolts and nuts. In those hard to reach places (like by the side pipes) I used the supplied  clip on bolts.

I also repositioned both side pipes so they ride up higher.  To do this I had to redrill one of the mounting holes but that was not a big deal.

seat belts installed

It was time for seat belts.  Hint: don't wait this long to put in the seat belts. It would have been very easy to bolt the seat belts in place without the seat  in place. 

I could have done this in a quarter of the time if the seats were out.  Oh well... next time.




rear view mirror
Next I installed the rear view mirror. Oh boy I found out in order to drill the holes straight down I had to remove the windshield. 
Note to other builders, drill holes before installing the windshield.

I also took the time this month to remove the intake manifold, replace a leaking fuel injector and tighten down all valve cover bolts (some you can not get to with the intake manifold on.
