Default Re: C4 Corvette build for Superstock I-J-K

some more photos of the Mark Williams brakes I used on my lowered spindle position. The kit is for an 82-92 Camaro, less mounting brackets. AJE had these spindle stubs in stock. And the plates are now available at Cole Technologies, ask for David. The finished product has a backer plate of 3/16" on the through bolts.

couple of pics of the heater box cover

I drew the holes for the plug wires to go through the motorplate with enough resistance pushing them to retain them in place. The waterjet cutting was done by my good friend David Tincher. I did 7 designs on this, but we decided to go with this one.

Brake line tubing to the passenger side protected from the damper, plus some of the other little jump tubes.

Ernie you are doing a awesome job! I have had 4 C4 street cars and have
a soft spot in my heart for those. Really like the fact you made up a spindle.
Well done.
It is great that you have all these photos of your build. Not just for us to
look over and drool! Will be nice to show people when the time comes to
sell and move on.
Best of luck on this build
Jimmy

Ernie, great build I like the layout. Would you happen to have any pictures of the clutch linkage installed? I am thinking that you are using a bell crank under the floor pan or under the dash dropping down to the clutch fork?

Thanks

Robert,
my clutch linkage is inside the car similar to what old 55-57 Chevys were. I had 1 shot of one of the ends I made to hold the cross shaft. I used bearings on each end. These are welded to the dash bar. The rod drops through the floor just past the accelerator pedal.

The other picture is all the pieces that comprise the linkage before welding.

Ernie

Great job Ernie. Best part of this car is there isn't a slushbox in it.....
