Wow, Wayne, before long you're going to walk out into the garage and say,
" Well, time to strip this thing down for paint!"

It's actually one for gas vent and it has a separate vent for the rear end so you won't puke gear oil on the track.

Man I really like that 5 Gen console.... looks right at home.

Thanks Mikael! I started on the gauge pod for it, I'm trying to do something like Jeff (jwcarguy) did on his console. now that I tried I'm finding out I'm blind as a bat and have trouble cutting a straight line no matter what I use. lol

I took a few pictures of my attempt. First I measured everything to get an idea where to start. Then I trimmed the Gauge pod, it got trimmed more after this picture.



Then cut out the console trim piece. This one had the change dish. (no gauges)



Then I started fitting it in trimming a little at a time.



It fits in pretty decent, it's just laying there with tape on the bottom. I'll do a little more tomorrow.



I also painted a few pieces and restored the brake pedal since I'm not using the standard set up now.



I also got the DSE RS electric door motors installed and tried them with a power supply. To ghet them in we had to pull the radiator and the intercooler tank to get at the bolts. But at least it's done.

The hoses I sent to be crimped came back and we installed the fuel filter



I finally got around to installing my Emergency brake kit from Kore 3 It's a nice complete kit and even after having it for 2 years I got in touch with Tobin and he was right back to me with the help I needed.

First backing plate installed



Axle in



All assembled just need to bolt on the Caliper and move to the other side.



I wired in the plug for the starter and it's all hooked up, and put the Holley end on the Alternator and connected the charging wire to my main battery cable.



I ordered this Hopefully I'll use it before the warranty is over on it.
