I would be glad to photograph mine and give you dimensions of it if you would like. It will be next week before I can send photos,private message me if you need my help.

Thanks for the offer ,that would be a help. Did you ever get your rear trans. motor mounts,so you could send yours out for recasting?

no, I never found any other mounts. I will photograph and dimension my floorboard next week and send you the info, glad I can help.

The floor boards dimensions were not for me,but for Bob R. which he has copied from my floor boards.

I just need the exact location(A photo of)the throttle cable,vacuum lines,speedometer cable, water temp. cable,wiring harness,oil pressure gauge,lines exit the front of the fire wall. Also any special clamps for the wiring harness and where it is clamped and bolted down to.

Gary,

I just got back to the site, sorry for not responding sooner. I have made a drawing of the floorboard tracing that I am attaching in a PDF. Will you please confirm that the channel is 0.400" deep on the cutout side of the board and that it is 0.210" deep on the opposite edge as illustrated? I didn't note the numbers as the depth of cut or if it was the remaining thickness. Thanks.

Also, I am attaching photo's that I think will address some of your questions. As you will see, some of the wiring has been meddled with by the former owner but the core aged harness doesn't look like it has been moved. Unfortunately, I do not have the vacuum tubing in place as the car remains in the condition that I had received it.

The routing of the items may or may not be correct as the car had been partially disassembled by the prior owner before he decided against the project.

Please let me know if I can get any other shots for you. Thank you for your help.

to Bob R.
I remeasured the cut depth with my wide base depth micrometer and it comes out to .396(.400 close enough)and at the other end is .181(.210 or .200 Would be ok). Any other questions let me know or you can borrow the board for awhile if that will help. Thanks for the photos they will help alot, you must have been a drafts'man as your drawing is very good.

Bob R. what are the wires attached to the outside of the steering column? They look to be for something that has been added.

JW,

I checked out the two wires to see where they originate and where they end. They appear to have been added as an extension off from the headlight switch and have been routed through a fuse holder (first photo) and out to the two wires that were passed along the column through the firewall, and I believe were ultimately connected to the fog lamps.

Since the previous owner cut off the wires and rolled the wires up under the hood, and based upon the length of the remaining ends, this is my best guess.

Thanks. I thought they might have been connected to an accessory. Steering column routing is an interesting way to get them through the cowl wall.

Bob R. In your Slide 3 What is the height of the composite material used one both sides of the metal floor board? Do you know of a good replacement material?
