I thought I asked before but maybe not - what was the thought of running them outside vs in the tunnel?
I did think about putting the lines in the tunnel.
two reasons for not putting the lines in the tunnel
1. To much stuff already existed inside the tunnel and installing an additional 5 lines then trying to get around it all wasn't worth the effort.
I would have to cut the tunnel open to get around all that then weld it all back together.
Second reason was if anything needed maintenance it would be impossible to get to.
I was thinking the added lines cut into the seat track area. Mine is very tight.
Do you you have a photo of the console that won’t be used or are you thinking of reusing parts of it? Would sure like to reserve a place for it if it is not being used.
No issues with the seat tracks. Lines are way above that.
I don't think the old console will be of much use to you. Location of the shift lever looks to be in a different location than yours, plus its centered in the console not offset like the oem bug lever is.
I have seen some consoles in the yards here that look to be a straight bolt in option. If thats what your looking for.
“And every night after midnight, Sterling enthusiasts huddle by the dumpster behind Brett’s house to see what beautiful fabrication might be discarded and otherwise scavenged.” Heeheehee. I totally get it. He makes nice things.
Yes Warren I have thrown away alot of stuff while I have been progressing through this build.
I've looked back at past efforts and what I'm doing now and think that some of the stuff I came up with back then was down right ugly compared to what I'm making now, and with the money I've spent on all that stuff I think I probably could of bought a new car from you by now.
