Lots of progress over the last week or so, I got a steering rack from a Triumph Spitfire, Chevette master cylinder, and calipers are on the way. I also fabbed the motor mounts, this I was dreading but it was actually really easy. They are just tacked for now until I’m SURE everything is straight and level. I may have overbuilt them a little, and the rubber part is from a circle track website (speedway motors) so they are REALLY overkill for a 1298cc engine. But they are nice and stiff, not as stiff as poly mounts though. Also I got to work on the front half of the wiring harness. This is going to take FOREVER. Next I have to cut 6" or so out of the Spitfire rack and make brackets for that.
