Like last time, I ground a short taper into one end of the rod, and then heated the tubing one small bit at a time while tapping it onto the rod.

I cut the tube to length, and then made a flare at the upper end with a tapered center punch.

The new tube is not perfect, but I like it better than the original.

Just to test, it seems like a properly snug fit in the case hole. I will install this later when it will not be in the way.

A different topic today: new custom floor panel for the frunk.

I stopped by Home Depot for a sheet of 11/32 plywood, just a bit thicker than the original. And only $4000 (kidding).

Laying out based on my cardboard template, with a few more tweaks.

And then time to get out some tools that I seldom use: hole saws and jig saw.

I decided to make the floor float over the spare tire, so it needs some shelf supports, made from 1" aluminum angle.

I mounted the supports on either side, with heavy duty 3M adhesive tape.

Here's how the floor panel fits. I plan to cover this with Perlon.

A check on the spare tire space: almost 7 inches deep.

Awesome idea and work, as usual. You should offer these for sale!

Thanks, Ian. But that would be too much like work.

Since my new heads are due to arrive this week, I decided to get back on the engine build. Digging around in the new parts box, I found this. It fell out of the bigger bag where I have all the engine seals. At least I don't have to wait for the new one I ordered.

At least the new hub retaining bolts arrived, with the serrations under the head like the original. Now I have 4 spares.

I dug around in the box of miscellaneous engine parts and came up with the oil temp sender and lead. The wire has seen better days, and I will make a new one.
