Some say it isn't Christmas if you don't play with some toys...

Vermont Sportscar sent me a mounting kit, along with my master cylinders and balance bar. The mount kit includes some nifty aluminum captive nuts, aluminum bolts, and the steel channels they welded into the floorpans of the rallycross cars. The whole setup means I can now figure out exactly what needs to be done to mount the pedal box into the car.







So my thought, rather than sinking the floor by the inch or two I need, I’d rather trim the fuel tank hump and replace it with flat sheet. This will give me all the clearance I need, without lowering the floor at all. I was contemplating a custom fuel tank anyways, and I’m probably going to use a painless or similar wiring kit, which will then mate to the Subaru engine harness…so losing the fuse box mount shouldn’t matter. If I don’t mess with the drain channel, I can’t think of any other reasons why this would be a problem?







Off to Christmas dinner. It was a short time playing with toys, but a good one! Hmmm…a Stack would work quite nicely…
