Thank for the picture!

where did you attached the bracket? I‘m between 2 mounting points: engine mounting bracket or mount it on the Pedalbox to keep the links short.

Julian, here is a picture from below. I mounted the bracket to the brake assembly.

Hope this helps.

Removed differential for examination. The “limited slip” doesn’t slip at all.

With the M88 transplanted engine under the hood, I located the coil and other electrics in the cowl cavity.

Although this car will not see the rain, I added a cover over the electronics.

Not as advertised (limited slip) from the seller. Welded, no-slip differential.

Yes, there was a dip in the factory pressed fiberboard headliner “holder.”

So, I filled it with expandable foam.

After it dried, I cut he foam to the right height with the saws-all.

Tomorrow, test fit to the roof area with some 9mm pine tree fasteners.
Once the tree fasteners are lined up with the holes I will drill, I will cover the factory piece with some thin pressboard/poster board and add pine tree fasteners to line up with the holes I have drilled. Then, cover the board with the factory fabric. Let it dry. Then pop the assembly into place. TrIm and tuck the excess fabric.

At least that is the plan.
