Well done!!
Thanks! I'm going to route a cable to a custom pull that will mount into an existing location under the dash...I also need move the brake booster to the left away from the engine, create indentation in the oil pan to clear the rack and do some cutting of the excess sheet metal around the shifter.

Cheers!

I live for it! I was noticing last night how flexible the firewall is around the clutch cable hole. I am also going to reinforce that area as well.

I have not personally experienced that issue but I have read about it several times on the forum. As with everything else you are doing Rob, nows the time!

The clutch setup I'm using is stiffer than the stock spider clutch..so is an absolute necessity I beef that up.
And yes I've heard of issues with it braking around hole.
