here is my temp plan of mounting the stock Honda del slow pedal box, booster, master cylinder into the shell

its temp mount so that I could make sure I like the location of the pedals and how they feel when pushing the pedals from my drivers seat

today I'm going to work on rebuilding that corner of the firewall box

spent a few hours on sheet metal work for the firewall

the left side of the firewall box is going to hold the underhood fuse box

I now have a Honda del slow steering column installed into my shell,

I had to section the steering column 4 inches, and I mounted it to my dash bar

the dash bar is 2 inches rearward

I got a 20 pin cannon plug for the front clip

I need to wire up the front lights, rear lights, fog lights front and rear,
fuel pump/fuel level sender

and finish installing the main battery cable that goes to the rear and make a battery mount

I found this here in the states, going to be way cheaper
Then buying it from that guy in the UK
It’s $45 USD plus a few more bucks for shipping

worked on wiring today and I got my throttle cable in the mail

the front clip wiring is done
I used 18 pins out of a 20 pin cannon plug


my throttle cable is from a gen 1 Honda odyssey van(95-9 f22 motor

I guess the cable bracket is in different spots on the intake manifold
because I need to ext mine out about 2.5-3 inches....no biggie

not bad overall, I paid 20 USD for the cable from rockauto
and from what I have seen online, they want 50 USD for rhd throttle cables

the standard for the Honda automatic is the cooler is mounted into the bottom of the radiator, its super small and the stock radiator is pretty thin

I have a Samson dual mono servo amp for my turntables to play music with in my computer room, with some small JBL 2 ways
