Don’t make the bushing/shaft fit too snug.  The assembly may flex a bit when it tighten down to the floor.

   I didn’t intend to prove anyone wrong, it was my frustration thinking I put them in wrong. I can’t believe they made it harder to remove. The s2 does have the clearance either way.

I know D'man - my apologies. It was a figure of speech and not my intention to offend.
Looking at your pic with the tape measure, I'm trying to account for parallax error. What would you say is the distance between the bolt head and the fibreglass?

Turbo, see you made some motor mounts. Nice job. Did you consider  solid mounts for both motor and transmission? Thinking solid mounts would make the suspension pick up points stable and suspension movements more accurate. Would  pick up some vibration but might be a good trade off? Ran my V-8 on a solid test stand yesterday and it got me thinking what is the advantage of rubber mounts; vibration control, not cracking the block?

Kram,
They are 86 durometer so hopefully they will limit motion!
The tranny ones I poured are definitely stiffer than what I replaced.

  About 3 1/2" Gavin, and remember it my bend in the rubber mount to angle it slightly more.

New billet compressor wheel and new turbine shaft, because it is lighter and will spool up easier (also more efficient etc), they even balanced them as an assembly gratis

(All the internal parts will be new and cost more than a new questionable quality chinesium turbo but this turbo will remain all Made in USA!)

The turbo should be good for at least 150,000 miles.....I think the life expectancy of a boosted Twink is somewhat shorter 

[TurboFource]

Sticking with the turbo theme on life....my favorite wine (18%)

[Kendo]

Wouldn’t that be more of a ported wine?

[TurboFource]

Kendo,
It certainly seems so! A glass of this changes your perspective

[TurboFource]

Almost done with pedals.....left some room to use shaft collars so I can
be sure brake pedal is lined up with master cylinder to prevent any side loading on
piston....

[dakazman]

  The pedals definitely look good.
  I see too that they the TCs' jog outward more than an S2s'.
  I can't wait to see more of your Turbo pics. I don't drink wine much except to finish my wife glass.

Going by that drawing D'man as I had nothing left of mine really to go by.....may end up bending them
