A few posts back I made this ugly hole in the firewall for the clutch master cylinder. I started by drilling a hole, decided it was too big, patching it up, drilling another, cutting notched and finally fitting the cylinder in there. I did all this because I did not know how it would have been done on a factory hydraulic clutch rig. Then, the other day I was a wrecking yard to pick up some parts and they had a cummins dodge in that had had a stick. I looked up under the dash and found the bracket I needed. I was worried about the set-up the way I had it because I figured that over time the firewall would crack from stress.
Here is the bracket clamped in place to mark the bolt holes.
Here you can see the bolt holes and you can also see that I rehogged the hole in the firewall. I had to weld a plug over the hole to guide the pilot bit for the holesaw, but now I think I am finally done with this hole.
All bolted up.
