Sorry no picture at this time. The camera has decided not to work. Must be a union camera and is striking for better batteries. Anyway, I will get some more pictures as soon as possible.
This morning made some paper templet for the mounting brackets. Going to weld the brackets to the crossmember and bolt it to the frame. Using 1/4" plate and countersink it on the bottom side so that we can use flathead machine screws (bolts) and weld them on the bottom side coming through making them studs. That way I'll be able to use all 16 bolts to the frame. Will put the plate up into the frame raise the crossmemeber up and get it lined up perfect tack weld. Then drop it down and weld the plate the rest of the way onto the crossmember. And then weld in any gusset needed. (I will get pictures of this for you.)
Ordered a dual master cylinder pedal setup, yesterday. One of the cylinder has a 7/8" bore and the other has a 1" bore. That should make so I don't have to use a proportioning valve. We'll see. The problem is going to be finding a way to hookup the Jag metic flex brake hose to the standard brake line. There must be someplace that makes an adaptor for this. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm going to have to run new steel brake lines in the front. This not a favorite job of mine. Bending tubeing is one of those things that I just have a real problem doing. When I go to the parts store to buy the lines I'll buy two of everything because I will mess them up at least once.
The reason I had to go to a hanging brake pedal is because I didn't plan ahead well enough. There is a bracket for my hydraulic clutch that takes up space. Also, part of my rear transmission mount is there.
