Intake Tube Support Bracket & Final Cuts (( 07-04-23 ))
 

Next up I am going to finally finish working on the intake tube support bracket.

I know it looks complete however the tubes are shoved way far into those hump hoses. So I will need to remove a some of the material.

I marked where the hump hose ends so I know how much that I need to remove.

Door Pull - Plan B (( 07-03-23 ))
 

I am finally working on the door pull concept do to the door bars.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...06859e4-me.jpg

If you look the distance between the factory holes is about 1" shorter which should work perfect.

I am hoping they will sit right above the Tiger Cage Door Bars.

Harness Bar (( 07-03-23 )) - After Dinner with my Wife
 

Remember no matter how small the project is getting just one of them done when you only have an hour.

It's still a completed project.

Thankfully, I used the blue tap as reference marks so it was a simple project.

Done and now a quick shower and off to dinner with Mike & his wife.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ea13744-me.jpg

Even the little things need to get done.. wish I could find a Tiger Cage for my 68

and they always seem to take more time then you think.


Did RideTech stop making the Tiger Cage ??

Swapping out the Fan Fuse (( 07-04-23 ))
 

Another simple project that took much longer then I expected.

Swapping out the fuse for a circuit breaker.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...79c4b35-me.jpg

I love using these washer for grounds on sheet metal.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8056bf5-me.jpg

I needed to borrow the Rubber Booty & the nuts from one of the other circuit breakers. Next car show I go to I am going to buy more of them.

I sleeved the wire with the Tech Flex Abrasion wrap just because it looks better and offers great wire protection.

I use this little trick to make sure I know exactly where the heat shrink needs to start.

My OCD is Killing me

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...30083c0-me.jpg

Yep, I have issue's

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...de71c62-me.jpg


Being honest I was convince I cut the wire short and thankfully I did not.

Every little project gets me closer (( 07-04-23 )) PM
 

After dinner I ran out to the garage since I had about an hour before I was going to call it a night. ( Going to Dinner with the Wife ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...dc83a86-me.jpg

It's full

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d5f6a4a-me.jpg

Not sure if I am going to use both door pulls on the car but I have the second set just in case.

Intake Tube Support Bracket (( 07-09-23 ))
 

Since the intake tube is just literally just hanging off the throttle body I need to finish the support bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...325e8ff-me.jpg

I have desire to remove the fan shroud to make holes so Self-Taping screws to the rescue.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7de9e0e-me.jpg

I can't seem to find my 1/4" adapter for my drill so I am going to improvise.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...08e2d8a-me.jpg

Since the cardboard bracket won't be strong enough I am going to run over to High Speed Welding after work
tomorrow and have him make me an aluminum version.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3c4f385-me.jpg

yep, the screw is just short enough.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7351cf6-me.jpg

Well, I didn't notice it was crocket till I pulled the tape off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ed62802-me.jpg

Oddly enough the tube runs up on a slight angle to it works perfect

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e1da1f4-me.jpg

It's hard to see but there are rubber grommets the bolts go through so I will be using Nylock Nuts so I don't have to
worry about them coming loose. You can also see the bolt that is on the intake tube that I will be using to secure
the intake tube to the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2bf8a58-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f9a5acc-me.jpg

I am going see if I can find a shorter nut as it doesn't need to be this thick.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0161672-me.jpg

Looks like everything worked so off to the powder coater we go.
