yeah mate completely, i have seen some centre mounted and the wipers changed to a cable / worm type in some other early holdens and then a smaller glovebox made...

I've managed to use the inside of the glovebox lid to mount my fan controllers, gear indicator box and an addition smaller fuse panel but, and then i'll just lock the glove box permanently.

heres where its at after yesterday, the dash and stereo are just resting in place, the 2 screws at the right hand side have relays for the A/C behind them but thats more a not considering them when i put the A/C in the first time and the harness becomes prewired and i can't be bothered extending it, lazy i know :roll:

Image

still need to squeeze in some solenoid relays for controlling the flaps but they should fit in up on the passenger side somewhere, and then the vacuum runs will be nice and small.

so theres a few things going on there haha

little bit more of an update... polished up some roof chrome... haven't screwed it in yet, but thats really just a teaser

Image

the wiring and engine plumbing is under way... a lot of it will be tidied up once its fired and broken in but here you go boys... getting close

Image

Image

the locker brackets and cables really came together nicely on the Quaddie, just got to adapt the kick down end which is minor.

Image

hopefully fired within 2 weeks, it looks close but theres tons to do

Well its full steam ahead... finally... next weekend is time to fire up the motor...

it did its best to piss me off and thwart my plans (water pump not fully seated, just enough room to get it out between the rad) but i wasn't giving in... just needs an alternator belt and a temp fuel line and its go time!

Still some tidying and stuff but good enough for now!

its a 7 inch mate... with the brake mounting moved to the center on the pedal box (cut out and plated up the original spots) and a HQ pedal bent around the steering column.

my initial mock-up for you, should give you a rough idea.

Cheers
