And a much needed update!

Here’s the remote brake booster saddled up inside the inner fender along with a reinforcing plate for the pedal quadrant. This will bolt in so the bracket will be painted separately. It’s in the exact spot that the factory has it. The other side of the firewall houses the power antenna. Series 1 and early Series 2 had the booster on the other side. The dots are reference marks for the holes to drill for welding. I welded this to the firewall from the inside so as not to create spot weld marks. It will be painted black like the factory.

I also did a mock up of my radiator so I can get these dimensions off to the radiator shop. I plan on installing an expansion tank much like the original has too. Sooooooo many small details n’ junk!! This is the fun part. I think.

To say I’m excited is an understatement! Now I can start smoothing things over and get ready for phase two. What that is I don’t know, but it should be filled with much more drama and various stories that go nowhere and mean nothing. More to come!!
