I need to figure out my wiring mess first. I'm hoping to try and get it to a fire point by the end of February. That would be awesome to have you come check it out!

It has no binding right now. In this configuration, I can't put the metal ring back on that holds the rubber grommet in, but I think I can make something work. I am going to continue to mess around with it to see if there is a way to gain a bit more clearance.

how is the z-bar pivot on the frame held in? it looks loose
My plan was to purchase some metal spacers with a 3/8" ID and 3/4" OD that I can weld to the clutch pedal to help with that. Do you think that would work, or should I try something else?

It's held on exactly the way it was in its stock form, but I may not have had it tightened down when I took the picture.

Thanks!!!! I think it's turning out ok, just a bit more tweaking and I think it will be rocking!
