Bory Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 That's all sold at Home Depot and just so you know that crimping tool is about 18" long it does 1/64-3/16 cable. My cable was a tad bigger than 3/16" so I drilled out the 3/16 retainer to the next size up it worked tits. 2 Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Finally got my steering shaft measured and off to my welding shop. After that is figuring out brake pedal and gas pedal. Brake pedal will be the clutch pedal shifted to the right a bit. Gas pedal will be the mustang. This is gonna be a two feet gas and brake drive, much like a go cart. My leg hits the steering wheel if I try to brake with my right foot. So well see 1 Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Here is the clutch pedal that I'm using as the brake pedal, I'm spacing it over to the right a little, but it will give me a little more room for work type shoes I use often. This shoulder bolt and hardware I picked up at ace which has a pretty good pick of this stuff. You can also see a bit of the ford brake booster I'm using. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 So this is the view of the pedals and steering shaft base. Notice the ford gas pedal. Will use the ford throttle cable as well as the kickdown cable. 1 Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I put a protective film on the 1/2" aluminum oil cooler lines, much like a clear bra that is being installed on late model cars. Should really help on vibration and corrosion control Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 With a double flare tool, I put a barb fitting end on it to make a stop for the hose. Double hose clamps will also help. 1 Quote Link to comment
