I'll be interested to see how it turns out. Are you going to machine it out of square stock?

decided to fit my firewall plate this afternoon, short 5 minute job.... NOT!

plate by it's self
Image
Image
started by cutting the firewall/fiber s**t, made this all look neat,
Image
Image
Image
next pre drilled the holes,
didn't get a picture of it

then went to put it on the car couldn't get it to slide over the little pipe :evil:

eventually got it to get on and sit right, had to slowly crank the screws on with an impact driver and it finally went on and sat right
Image

many swear words were said this afternoon

also clear pictures of the pedal box

painted my pedal box tonight and will fit it tomorrow :D

made up a design for the centre console due to manual surrounds becoming harder to come by and people more desprate for them, will make up a jig at school and bends some bar around and make it suit

design

well since putting the car back togethert when the car is off the radio sounds fine but as soon as the motor is running it's gets a static/high piched back noise to it,

any ideas of what it could be?
