’32 Update: Miscellaneous Stuff (article 33)

Some Miscellaneous Stuff

Here are a few random shots of what I’ve been up to lately. They don’t each require a separate posting, so I’ll just throw them all in here.

I made up these little spacers for the wiper posts, then painted them black.

 

Here you can see my heater lines. I decided not to run #10 heater hose just because of the size of the car. A #10 hose has a 1/2″ i.d., so by running 3/8″ hard line, I’m not losing all that much flow. I’m using the head as one connection, and the water pump for the other. The hose clamp on the hose going to the water pump will be replaced and eventually will look like the one just below it. Remember to flare the end of the hard line so it’s tight in the hose. I’m also trying to figure out where to run the spark plug wires.

 

I made up two 3/8″ double clamps to hold the e-brake cables to the floor and keep them out of the way of the driveshaft.

 

Here you can see the Specialty Power Windows wiper motor that’s mounted to the steering column mounting plate.

 

 

I couldn’t exactly hide the A/C drain behind the upholstery (because what you see is the “upholstery”), so I had to come up with another way. I decided to use the leftover trunk weatherstrip I had. It’s hollow, flexible, and has an adhesive back. It’s not stuck to the firewall yet, but when I’m ready I can just peel off a few small sections of backing and hold it in place. It drains out a hole under the toe board area.

 

And here’s where we are, pretty much up to date. [wow, look how shiny it was!]
