I needed a better solution securing the DSE wiper harness to the firewall. Instead of using the factory hardware I tapped the existing
holes to 1/4 x 20 and threaded the ARP bolts from the engine bay into the interior. It also completes the ARP them on the firewall and it is
also an easy way to secure the line clamps.
I needed larger stainless steel washer so a quick trip to Home Depot 20 minutes before closing I grabbed the washers & jam nuts I needed.
Since I was unable to use a tap handle on a couple of the holes I had to improvise. On the smaller taps a 12 point 6mm socket
will easily prevent the tap from twisting. However, It can fall out so I used my favorite roll of blue tap to secure it.
You can see one of the ARP bolts and one of the sheet metal screws has yet to be removed and replace. In the end I am not sure
anyone will really notice but I am certain Mike will notice so I had to do it before he called m out.
The DSE wire harness is now neatly secured
You can see the top bolt as on the only one left and it was ugly compare to the stainless steer nuts.
All done.
If anyone tells me that I need to replace the brake booster hardware with ARP bolts I promise you I will start crying.
Clean Up time as I have to get some sleep.
These mini ratchets are so useful. If you don't have them in your tool box you need to buy some.
I have hit my head on this M F N bracket so many times that it is coming off till I absolutely need it on !!!
