    we made a lot of progress yesterday, bryant made these custom brackets that he had waterjetted from cardboard cutouts and he welded up in the shop. We got the CNC pedal installed and it fits like a glove in there.
    So next we are going to be cutting the brake pedal and we have to go back to Chuck and get the reservoir and make hard lines.
    I ordered my flywheel and if it works out well we are gonna get the same one for Bryant since he is doing the same conversion. He is going to order my clutch and then we still have to make the transmission mount.

    not sure, but if you go onto their website at CNC you can find it. it's a common thing to find since people use this one a lot for their conversion.

    in the next few weeks bryant and I are gonna hopefully complete the install. We're pretty close. Bryant is gonna weld up the bracket that the slave cylinder mounts to, we gonna bend up some hard lines to go to the master cylinder. We still have to make a custom mount for the T5. But after that I'll be banging gears!
