Small Stuff But Important



Working on some of the small stuff that needed to be worked out and finish up.



We will be using stainless tubing to run the coolant from the radiator to the motor that is located behind the cab. These are some of  the brackets that will hold the hard lines off the frame.  


Used 1-3/4 for the bottom outlet and 1-1/2 for the top inlet. Also have two bleeders at the two highest points to release air out of the lines.
We have flex hoses between the motor and the hard mounted tubing ,also at the radiator. This is where we will have one of the bleeders for any air trap in the lines. Still have a little more work to finish up but getting close.


 
Installed the emergency brake and ran the cable to the drive line brake drum. Also installed and mounted the electric kick down for the transmission. Have the cable for the shifter installed on the transmission side, but need to connect to the steering column to finish it up. 
Everything is a little more difficult when the motor is behind you. This is the bracket that Chris fabricated up for the accelerator cable to work properly.  
Here is the complete setup for the new accelerator linkage. Instead of pull it is now push and pull. More small stuff coming soon.
