Saturday was house work and Sunday honestly wasn't all that productive. I spent a total of about 3 recovering a a special bolt that holds the lower Steering u-joint. A bout a week ago I dropping it, it fell into the throttle pedal area which is actually a hole between the floor and belly pan and I hear it roll away. I jacket the car at crazy angles (which is part of why I went ahead and checked the torsional stiffness, I already had everything out to do it). I bought a new flexi magnet.....and eventually got it through a little access hole in the bottom...really boring.....

finished the final install of all the EPS steering stuff and dropped the pedal box in...and decided I wasn't happy with how close the clutch pedal was to the EPS unit. I didn't really ever love the clutch pedal position...it was sitting height than the foot rest but It was adjusted down to the end of the thread on the master.....so I ordered a new die to let me run the threads down a bit more. The will likely limit the travel of the master a bit, but I'm using a pedal stop to limit travel to protect the short throw hydraulic throw-out bearing anyway. So when the die arrives I'll get more foot room.
Last was the stupid clutch switch...the cute little M8 switch is not a standard M8 so it didn't fit. With the pedal box out I decided enough screwing around and retapped it to accept a a 308 brake pedal switch and a little weld on the pedal arm to give it a place to hit. Fixed. The little allen bolt you can see in the second pic is the pedal stop...a bit neater than the standard bolt or block on the floor.
