So has anybody found any options (other than the eBay guy) for coil brackets? I thought I had some lined up - but it does not appear to be working out, and I am getting tired of waiting..

Indy, I think Vengeance was putting a kit together. Kilo-9 used a different style but didn't like that they needed two screws. Have you decided on mounting location yet?

Here is another option, just pricier: http://www.jcgrestorationandcustoms.com/parts/ Chris is a friend of my Dad. If you call him, mention "Al"

Too many fans and you constrict the air flow. I personally am curious why you put a fan in front of anything as the air will be constricted due to a fan in the way of rushing air.

OK - thanks (I was actually hoping for less expensive than the eBay guy lol)! I think I am leaning towards the frame rails where I can just drill and use a self tapping screw. In the fenderwell is kind of neat, but I don't want to have to weld and that could be a pain if you need to get to them...

I actually just finished painting the engine bay last night the best I could with everything masked off, much better! I will post some pics today

I have access to a machine shop and so if one of you can get all the dimensions of the coils and an idea of what you want (or just the dimensions and we can work on an idea) i may be able to make it. The only CNC equipment i have is a waterjet, but i do have a conventional mill and lathe

Let me know

P.S. i also have a powder coating gun and oven to finish the parts as well

I almost hate to follow up those awesome and beautiful radiator pics with this....

But...
I get a lot of questions on how I moved my ABS module. Especially from Nathan !! LOL

Please excuse the “Down and Dirty” way I did this.

And for the record…I replaced the kinked brake line in the second pic and cleaned up everything and it looks much nicer now…But I just haven’t found the time to remove the tire and inner fender to take new pics of how much better it looks now.

The wiring harness had to be extended 36” if I remember correctly ( sorry but its been over a year since I did this)

Never had a problem since I moved it..no ABS light on the dash..no strange braking…nothing at all..you would never know it was moved.

Now if I could just get motivated to move the fusebox into the trunk..LOL


Here are a couple of pics.

In the first pic you can see the factory bracket from the ABS that I welded in place, and you can also see the seam that i cut and rewelded to make room for the brake lines to pass through.

Second pic is how it looked once I loosely assembled it all....I later removed everything and painted and replaced some of the brake lines I kinked.

I took advantage of WAY above normal 80 degree temps here in IN (and low humidity) to repaint the engine compartment. All done with spray cans from AutomotivetouchUp.com!

I scuffed it with gray scotchbrite wiped it down with lacquer thinner, shot 3 coats of base & 3 coats of clear. You might notice I also removed & repainted the shroud for the hood latch IOM as well (had to prime that first). Got down to the frame rails best I could without removing the engine lol! Considering I barely had 1 coat of paint with no clear from the factory, this is a HUGE improvement!

Lookin good Indy!

Nathan, after seeing EZSPEED's setup, I'm confident it would be simpler for you to do something similar to that if keeping the engine in the car. There is definitely a lot more wiggle room to bend and form the brake lines.

You know I'm going to have more question for you, LOL.

Did you splice the harness? I'm going to call Casper electronics to see if they can make us an extension.

Never had a problem since I moved it..no ABS light on the dash..no strange braking…nothing at all..you would never know it was moved.

Now if I could just get motivated to move the fusebox into the trunk..LOL

I can't wait to you tackle it. As soon as you start, I will do mine with you.

Here are a couple of pics.

In the first pic you can see the factory bracket from the ABS that I welded in place, and you can also see the seam that i cut and rewelded to make room for the brake lines to pass through.

Second pic is how it looked once I loosely assembled it all....I later removed everything and painted and replaced some of the brake lines I kinked.

Kyle, just read your e-mail......THANKS bro, just know that when you get out here, you'll always have a place to crash.

Thanks again guys for all the help! I think I said this before but I'll say it again, I really love the direction the tread has taken. My initial vision for creating this tread was so that we can all help each other by sharing experiences, ideas, etc so that others could save time, money and avoid making mistakes, etc ......And this is what it's become, a community project. So thanks again to all for making this a reality. I love this community! Time for a group huge
