My Black Bitza
Scott:
I was pretty happy after that. It took ages to get the fuel pump to prime, but got there in the end. There are a few leads sitting on the exhaust, and I haven't added any water yet so only short runs. I'll stuff in the hei and get some new right angle leads. That'll fix the issues with exhaust contact. I have some insulation sleeves too.
metalhead:
I'll bet! Sounds good. Where'd you buy the insulating sleeves? I need to get some of those myself.

Summit. I made up a list of a bunch of small parts I needed for 2 different cars.
metalhead:
Ah ok, thanks. Just received a shipment from summit (and placed one with Jegs). Will have to keep it in mind for the next one...
Measured my engine/box and diff angles tonight. With my hoist lowered onto a lock, the diff angle was 0 degrees and the engine and box was sitting at 2.3 degrees.
Received my package from Hurst on Friday. The gearbox mount looks similar to yours, but there are shims included and the instructions state:
The Hurst TKO crossmember brackets are designed to give you an appropriate driveline angle and at the same time allow your TKO to fit within your tunnel. Your driveline angle with a TKO installed will be slightly different than your stock driveline angle but still within an acceptable tolerance range. If you happen to have enough space between the top of the transmission and the bottom of the floorboard, use the provided transmission mount shims to raise the transmission up further into the tunnel as this will result in an optimal driveshaft angle.
Guessing there wasn't something similar in your kit?
Scott:
No shims in my kit.
I've hooked up the hydraulics for the clutch and bolted my brake master cylinder on now. Added some fluid, and it seems one of my front calipers is leaking... And that's just with gravity. I pulled the wheel off to have a look. Pads out and it looks like one piston is leaking. I've changed from lip seals to o-rings, so I'll have to pull it apart again and see what the go is. Yay, more brakefluid everywhere...
