Did you pressure test your tanks?

If that insulation you show is what I think it is, I've used it for insulating around my exhaust pipe, under my oil tank, and my battery but I think this is probably better: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dei-010402?rrec=true And from the same company.

Some shifter progress on my early Esprit cross gate inspired shifter....

Need to shorten the rod ends for the "stick" like I did for the bellcrank one....

Nice work on the shifter. I've been working on designing a hydraulically actuated shifter, and see some ideas in yours.

Bainford, that is interesting...I wondered (briefly) about hydraulics while thinking of this!
I will be looking forward to see what you come up with!

- Chassis has been persuaded to accept "Shifty" as a new friend.
- Heat shield installed on oil pan to keep header heat out of oil.
- Speedo cable lubricated and now spins easily.
- Shifter cable lengths figured out.

Neat, Turbo.  8)

Is there enough room under the rubber gaiter for "Shifty"?

Shift cables came in…..I messed up measuring one of them :-\….new one on order

Time to play with reverse motion linkage, bell cranks, ratios etc.

Easter and then camping (my Trusty '95 F150 needed some pre-trip maintenance), so no progress the past two weeks until today.

Discovered I needed to remove drivers side engine mounting bracket to install header.

Shifter cables ran.

Removed passenger side mounting bracket and drilled a hole through it since it was where my shift cable wanted to be ;)

Chased threads in transaxle case to mount rear shift mechanism.
