Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
I'm pedaling as fast as I can.
The Wilwood compact master cylinders will have to be recessed to clear the back of the driver side head. The new firewall is actually a bit forward of where the OEM firewall sat. This will necessitate a box that moves the brake/clutch pedal assembly rearward. Wilwood makes one but it isn't deep enough. So, I'll have to spend some time on the mill whittling one out. You can see the approximate location with the drawing superimposed. Unfortunately, the tunnel side will interfere with the electronic gas pedal. Looks like I'll have to trim one of the upper tabs for it to clear. Once I get the recessed panel built, I'll see what I'm dealing with and whether I can reposition the tab with adhesive. I really don't think there would be an issue using just two tabs, but you always wonder if there was a reason the factory set it up the way it is.
