Pic of the strut brace.



And the problem with the BOB



Installed and cutted.



"CAD" drawing (Binkyfan!!)



Some more cutting.



Tackwelded and checking clerance issues.



Measuring how much I had to cut the strut.



Maked where to cut it.



The shorter version.



Rewelded



About 5mm clerance to the inlet manifold and 5mm to the bonnet. Started the engine, put in to gear and kicked the clutch a couple of times and a friend of mine checked for engine movement. Wasnt any problem since i use 6 hockey pucks for engine mounts







Tackwelded



And fully welded





After some grinding they turned out ok. Just need some paint and strut brace are finished.





Also changed the pin for the gearstick for a shortshift version.



Painted and ready to be permanently installed! Bought some oil aswell.



Thats all for tonight.
More to come!
