I made a gearbox mid mount and rear engine support, mainly to save money, why pay £70 when I can make it for £20   If you're going to make your own parts, take the opportunity to improve it. Here's my mid mount made from ally: |

What is your design improvement, apart from being made from aluminium and therefore lighter.

Not that I know of. I lost access to the TIG, so no more from me. I could talk you through it if you want.
BTW, that one isn't on my car. It currently uses the Berg 5 ally version.

i was thinking of solid-mounting mine , and using it to mount the brace (rather than shock-top bolts)

A couple of practice runs at making some 2 1/8 gauge mounts for the center of the dash. The plan is to have three gauges mounted where the radio opening is located. And yes I got the idea from the work Danny Gabbard did on Deano's dash. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Hmm I just noticed this one danny - is the base plate of the tunnel "removable" Ya lee I got stoned one night and wanted to see what was inside, Then I went shit how do I put it back? So I bolted it back together. Well any way, I ran new stainless fuel and brake lines. Plus ditched stock clutch and throttle cables with morse cables from control cables. alittle heavy'r and stronger. |

Also made my gearbox midmount and my traction bar (drilled with holes for weight saving  ) Making your own parts saves money, and in the end it's more satisfying when it's done the right way... Cool topic, keep them comming!!!! Cheers, Dennis... |

I got TONS of parts I made...Unfortunately I have most of them buried in the corner of the shed (back when you could walk all the way into it ). I started forming sheet metal parts a few years ago with the intentions of selling some stuff to make money for tools I need. Most everything I have needs minimal work done to it (hard part was done early before work started...or when we got slow ). Mostly polishing and drilling holes. Now that I am unemployed, I need to start finishing these parts and selling them, or installing them! Glovebox section with cross breaks that matches my diamond pleat upholstery-Yes I am just gluing the upholstery strip in place to finish it off:  Aluminum glovebox door face that I still need to polish:  Aluminum firewall with matching cross breaks:  Some copper and stainless door sill plates that need to be drilled:  |

I wish I could find the headlight buckets I did from copper that are finished and tig welded  . Did I mention I have WAY too much crap lying around? I also have the glove box door, finished door sills, and a gauge panel made from copper for my dream "gasser" 70's build. Here is the final prototype I made before finishing the copper ones. I had to make 6 prototypes originally to get dimensions correct  .  Here's a door sill plate that I actually (fully) polished! Now I have to do the other side  Here is a completely homemade door panel that I did using the masonite I got from work...I now have all four installed and am ready to do the seats.  Carpet and binding are fitted from scratch too  |

Dennis, your car looks great, nice improvements. Kind regards Edgar do the airboxes supply hot air from the external oil cooler or something? i once thought of doing that anyway I think it s for getting cold fresh air in to the engine compartment. |
