Successfully lightened up the cross brace. I also ditched the mesh support tabs and will pin the back edge of the grille to the flange I made. Anyone know where to get weldable pins?

Do you have another engine grill, I would just cut them off and tack them on, and use the OEM push on retainers.

Or, you make the. Steel stock the size you need, grind a taper if you want to jazz them up a bit, and cut to size, use push on clips, or speed nuts.

The CSOB way, a couple of small machine screws and use some nuts, and loctite.

Thanks for the pic Ben.

Hmm. Screw the pins, I weld the back grille in place! Also I see that the center supports should have more of a bow than what I have.

Nice progress on the engine lid., Travis.

I bought my lid from Sergio and bolted it on, I admire your ingenuity and skill.

Happy New Year!

Thanks Lawrence. I had a couple of spare lids and had to give it a shot, plus I need something to do so i can stall getting the conversion done LOL.

Ready for media blast and powder coat.

Bracket Man, my hero! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Hey @TravisNeff I really like this set up.
Where did you obtain the filter? I also have the
PMO reg. & gauge. Will be using with Weber’s.
May I steal your idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

@Dion

Absolutely! I got the filter from Summit and it wasn't a gazillion bucks.

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-23006

My mount is right about at the crease in the fender well. I can get the canister off to replace the filter, just barely. I wanted to put it in the engine bay where the OE pump would go and then it would be a super easy R&R of the elements. But OCD set in and I started worrying about the engine bay heat and the aluminum being a heat sink.

The brackets were easy, I was trying to make a battery tray for my mini battery and bent it a little too short. I cut it in half and made 2 brackets out of the scrap, how lucky is that!

Time to start thinking about the dead pedal again. This has the right amount of ridiculous for me. I will need to cut off the rear attachment piece (it was made for a floor dimmer switch) and figure out how to mount it. It is not magnetic so i can't weld it on.
