my t5 installation

O I C ...at first i thought he cut it out with a hatchet...

......

 

in California we don't use hatchets for metal work but hey, whatever works for ya.

 

also rember that these brackets are beeing fabricated in a differental shop. we really dont have alot of metal working tools. dont even have a hatchet. but that may have been easyer.

 

I'm doing the same swap with the same master/pedal set-up....The only thing i did different with my pedal bracket was that i extended it the front of it to the firewall, added a tab to it and bolted it to the firewall...Maybe overkill but......

Next will be the slave bracket to the t-5

 

Was the electric grinder plugged up?

 

i believe this is a "before" picture.... as in before he took the grinder to it to clean it up



kinda hard to believe the people that are bashiong on a person about a bracket that was fabricated for a custom install. i mean really...

 

mo did the grinding. might want to ask him.
that pic was before he got to it.

 

I agree not everyone has a plasma cutter in the garage or enough torch time to make the cuts look like plasma cuts.

Even when I use the plasma cutter I need to clean it up with a grinder, now the guys at our shop at work can make the cuts look like it was a water jet. But they do it EVERY DAY.


Keep up the great work BRyant and Mo

 

ok so i have the slave cylinder bracket done. its not very pretty but it gets the job done. i used 3/4" angle iron, a flat piece of 1/4" plate, and some 5/16s nuts and bolts.
here are the juicy pics and not so juicy descriptions.

heres the bracket and slave cylinder


here they are on a mocked up case on the bellhousing. in the bell housing are the flywheel, clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing and clutch fork. this gives me close to the installed hight.








here are the important dementions if anybody wants them to make there own bracket.

 

i will put a bracket from the front of the clutch bracket to the firewall. we did that on mo's and it works great. it needs to be made after the pedals final location is set. with the way i made the main bracket its adjustable forward, back, up, down, and can even be angled.

 

Bryant are them holes that you used to mount the slave cylinder bracket alreading in the webbing of the transmission case or did you drill them?

 

they were already in the case.

 

dang bryant looks awesome! It looks really good after the spray paint. I'm gonna have to drop by today and check it out.

 

Good deal

 

we can spray paint anything on your car that you feel doesnt look good.
