The wiring is taking longer than I had anticipated. I made some progress but I discovered that i need to refabricate the rear motor mount as it flexes too much.

Just read the entire thread & going cross eyed! to you sir...SUBSCRIBED!

 

[klyph]

Thanks for all the compliments. The engine harness is done (moved bulkhead plugs to the drivers side, not as easy as it sounds). And the Chassis harness is like 30% complete.
I have an idea of how to make the rear mount out of some hockey pucks to do it Alaskan style, so I'll be working on that this week.

 

[eg6sir]

hmm, hockey pucks... that'll be a first.. let us know how it works..

 

[klyph]

I've heard of other people doing it. It should make for a really stiff mount since pucks don't flex hardly at all.

 

[Andrew]

GL mang! Take some pictars!

well, unless your mounts are pretty strong you might want some flex.. the vibration is gonna be bad

 

[klyph]

Yeah, this car isn't gonna be what I would call a "tame daily driver". It's gonna be loud, fast, and vibrate a lot. Only the rear mount will be uber stiff so i don't think it will be too bad. But yeah, I guess we'll see how good my welds are when i romp on it. Hopefully I don't break too much shit.

 

[eg6sir]

i forgot.. its within a 1/4 in clearance with the firewall.. you'll want a stiff rear mount
