Meanwhile in A garage up in N.Y. Your pedal assembly was receiving A
"Roller bearing Conversion"

Before

Before #2 this bushing is actually in really good shape,but roller is still a nice upgrade over the stock bushing on a clutch car

Removal of the bushing

cleaning and truing up the surface

Painted area after smoothing it out(I had to show this one Mike so you wouldn't think I left bare metal there)....lol

Scott Drake roller kit

Voila, all done ....... ready for a million miles of service


Mike,
I'll most likely be heading down to the shore for a few days during the week of March 24- 30th. I'll be sure to bring the pedal setup and the G.T. Wheel I'm giving you. Shoot me an email when you get a chance to discuss when you'll be around,I'm trying to figure out what days that week ,plus I'm hoping to do some Mustang (car stuff) while I'm down there. Later

My next winter project (even though it is now spring) was to clean & re-paint the e-brake assembley. Today I removed it from the car & was removing the surface rust & cleaning off the years of gunk I went through my last box of parts & found the handle which has broken off the "L" shaped piece of metal with the slot in it that is laying on the workbench between the handle & the assembley. I will see if I can weld the handle back on the "L" shaped piece.

Clutch movement im sure will be much smoother with this setup over stock!

I had adapted my standard interior map light to the custom Mach-1 clock panel for the passengers side of the dash & replaced the slide switch with one from Radio Shack & wired it up. Tested it on Saturday & it works.Another project completed.

 

[Mike65]

Today after cleaning the e-brake assembley on Sat I painted it today.

 

[Noterminator]

Looks great Mike. Even if its just the little things its good to see your making progress.

 

[Mike65]

Well I got my pedal hanger back complete with the roller bearing conversion done. My good buddy dropped it back to me on Wednesday.
Mike.

 

[ROUSH 4]

Nice progress.

 

[Johns65]

Mike it looks great I really enjoy following this thread

 

[Mike65]

John, here is a little more eye candy. I cleaned the kick panels & repainted them over the weekend.

I stopped by the local (to where I work) welding supply store & picked up a 55 cu ft argon/CO2 gas tank for my newly converted Lincoln welder. Now that it is finally starting to warm up it is time to get back to work on the Coupe.

 

[Noterminator]

Nice. But that warm up you speak of is in question lol.

 

[Mike65]

On Sunday I tested out the welder now equipped with gas & WOW! what a difference. So I welded the bracket back on to the release arm for the E-brake & reinstalled it to the assembley.

 

[Noterminator]

Keep plugging away. Your def making some nice progress with limited time.

 

[Mike65]

Yesterday I cut out the rotted r/s trunk drop off & fitted the replacement piece. Now I just have to weld it in.

 

[Noterminator]

Love seeing updates. Its quite encouraging.
