Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / March 2006Toyota Tcab
Well I finally got my front motor mounts welded up and bolted on so right now the 20R is sitting where it is supposed to. It actually lines up pretty well with wher the OHV sat. It seems theat ever spring I am pulled it several directions at once and this spring is no different but my shop is looking better. I got my elevator welded up the other day and it works great. No more climbing up a aluminum ladder to get to the second floor. Guess tonight when I finally get to bed I can dream about the transmission mount. I was planning on using a block ontop of the stock crossmember but that wongt orrk as the angle of the drive shaft will be off. Maybe I can use part of the stock transmission mount and install a new crossmember for it to ride on.....and then I have to rig the hydraulics for the clutch linkage but I am thinking that I can rig up a bracket from the master cyllinder bolts and use the stock clutch pivot with some sort of arm to push the clutch master cyllinder......guess I will be dreaming about two things tonight.....in any case it will be better than dreaming about falling trees like last night...... How 'bout some pix of the elevator & the Toy engine installation?

If your T-cab is one with bottom hinged pedals, you can just use a second brake master cylinder and brake pedal bolted to the original one, assuming the layout is similar to a passenger car. That's what whoever built JP's street rod did, and it seems to work fine. Might have to play with the bore size of the slave cylinder but other than that it should work well. good luck nate Thanks....I wasnt thinking about using a brake master cylloinder but that will make the fabrication much easier.....I was thinkin bout using the Toyota hydraulics. As for the picts will do.....the elevator was easy since I had already done a similay set up to get a frontend loader welded up for my Gibson....... |
