Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
For the 4th I made my sparks with my welder...
![]() I started with getting the accelerator pedal mounting holes drilled, welded a plate over the original accelerator linkage hole in the firewall, then filled some extraneous holes in the firewall (via markeb01's method, coins and JB Weld.. Thanx Mark) ![]() For the plate to fill the old linkage hole, I cut a piece of the step side fender that I'd removed for the taillight buckets I frenched in… ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's the hole to be covered… ![]() Here's the new setup loosely sitting in it's location with the plate welded and primed… ![]() Here's the square hole for the accelerator cable… ![]() Here's the hole filling process… ![]() Here's the new firewall pad laid out… Thanx to Bret for the info on the place this was ordered from… ![]() ![]() Tomorrow it's time to apply some Peel and Seal, then install the pad... ![]() ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
That is super impressive Don.
Really moving along and getting that glare from the end of the tunnel your eyes. Insulated cab will obviously be a great place to be.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Looking good Don . I think I will have to get one of those pads . Was it very expensive ? . The funny thing is we all spend time getting the floor looking good ,then cover it with sound deadening ,then cover It with a carpet

![]() Truck and car shop had this pad for $56 and the retainer tool was $8 (Worth the money) Clips are included with the pad… Here's a link, click order online to navigate their catalog… http://www.truckandcarshop.com/6072.html Also be aware, these clips are a pain to install ![]() ![]()

How heavy is the pad, and more importantly, can it be folded to suitcase size, or rolled up?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Rian, the pads are fairly light (a couple of kg's max) mine came (from LMC) already rolled up for shipping. You will need the tool for fitting the clips, they are like hollow plastic Christmas trees, a bit of a pain even with the tool!
Don, fantastic progress, it's looking great ![]()
