QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Oct 20 2020, 04:30 PM)  As much as I think it's a solution seeking a problem, that is great design work and you have at least one interested customer! Great job! I wish I had more time to play . . . Is that done in Inventor? Axis and the way planes are notated look familiar. Maybe some other AutoDesk product? Well... I know our cars are too precious to dare drive them on gravel roads now, but back in the day, I drove mine several miles on dirt roads on my daily work commute. The combo of that open cable wheel and an aging, leaking engine were a constant headache and perpetual frayed cables. Now that my resto is soon to be on the road again, and the fact that I have 3 miles of dirt road between my house and the nearest pavement, YES, I'm interested in a good cover. |

I'd like to see something like the soft rubber "boot" that fits over the head-light motor pivot. Would've made a lot more since for the clutch wheel than the headlight pivots IMHO.

Back in the day when I had that WRX engine in it, and clutch cable was a bit too long, I made an adjustment bracket with a series of holes, so I could pick out the correct length, and also modified a terry clutch cable to adjust it with. I had a 1 1/2" square tube for a spacer, and faced up. I made a tin on top to keep dirt out. It made pushing the clutch a whole lot easier. I can't remember if there was room about to make the angle bent the opposite direction or not?
I never trimmed it to length, as it wouldn't have looked so tacky.   |

That's a whole other story though, but hope to never live on a paved road again. Sorry Porsche, some things are more important. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
