Drift Boss Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Here is the previous brake upgrades. Anyway. Here is some updates. I bought new mounts after seeing a ls1 swap had crushed his frame Only problem is..i have to weld in new mounting pads to my stock subframe as the 302 guy cut them out when the 302 was put in. Repainted the twin pipes Welded up the holes i drilled Sanding! Touched it up with some base for a artist to come out and do his thing on the engine bay Reloomed until my fingers hurt Also relocated that ugly starter relay thing off the firewall, to inside the car.

Drift Boss Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Still waiting on rivnuts and rubber walting to install myflares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So. I installed my flares today. Aluminum 1/4x20 rivnuts (24 of them) Rubber GM welting (25ft roll) Ace Hardwire 1/4 x20 machine screws, finishing washers, and, rubber washers. Rivnut installer tool (lol) Tapped up the flare exactly where i wanted it, then drilled a 1/4 hole threw the flare, hitting the medal behind it. It will leave a mark in the medal so you know exactly where to drill. Then you pull it off and start drilling (step up your size drill bits) you want to have a 13/32h hole end the end. Used my handy rivnut tool. This is why i used alu. Rivnuts. Mine all came out prefect. Install rubber welting, as you see fit. Not rocket surgery. Bolt it all up.

Drift Boss Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Now the fronts. Taped up right where i wanted them. Marked under the flare to see how much i could cut. Then did the steps about i used on the rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
