Damn.


Well I got the column back in, pedals in, all the connectors in. Master is in (pain in the dick).
Hole cut in floor for shifter.

Hopefully I can find some flywheel bolts and get it all done tomorrow :/
Bright side, all the hard parts are done.

Rockauto says the bolt should be almost an inch long.
mine are like .650......
looks like I'm done for the night. Hopefully I can find some local in the morning. :/

How long are stock flywheel bolts? My flex plate bolts seem to be really short, the flywheel is much thicker than the flex plate. The write up uses stock bolts? [MENTION=519]1BADAIR[/MENTION]

Im pretty sure it goes how you have it

[mcalus]

Does the master point up or does it need to be flipped 180 degrees and be pointed down?

[mcalus]

Good progress. Why did you take the steering column out?

To get the pedal assembly out and install the master

Good progress. Why did you take the steering column out?

[mcalus]

Trans, ds, ta, steering column are all out. Good progress for today.

Why couldn't you use two bolts for the master? That's what I did for my third gen swap...am I missing something with the 4th gen?

Maybe im just going by the write up. Trying to get as many parts as the suggest so I can follow step by step.

I've got a knob you can borrow if you're passing by.

Thanks Jim, I may hit you up on the offer or just order the c6.

Im willing to meet you part way on the upper console piece, but I am out of town until Monday!

No problem Joel. Just let me know when's good for you next week.

I got everything loaded in the back of the fusion and got the tool box and trans on the trailer.
I think have eveything I need. I hope this goes smoothly.

I hope to have as much out as possible by tomorrow night then Saturday can be an entire day of assembly.

[JoeliusZ28]

Ordered a pilot bushing through rockauto. $18 shipped (hope I get it by Saturday)

Anyone have a cheap shift knob laying around I could buy or borrow until I order the C6 knob?

Hopefully ill get the dustshield from Patrick before this weekend is over.

Also need to swing out to Joel and get the upper center console.

Still need to figure out a u bolt for the master.
