It’s amazing how much better that shifter works with a little bracing.

It’s amazing how much better that shifter works with a little bracing.

I’ll see the overall improvement in a couple weeks. Just going left to right with no trans/engine in the car it feels better. If someone else needs one I could be convinced to make more of these braces. I have a good bit of aluminum bar left.

I'll admit they ones I make aren't 'pretty' but they work and are out of sight. A bit of paint would clean them up but I'm ok with mine being rough.

I would love to be added to such a list, if such a list were to exist.

Just a note: if you get a new clutch elbow be sure to tighten it before installing as if could leak on you. I lost clutch function last night and found low fluid in my reservoir. After filling and inspection, the leak was coming from this point. I imagine it's much easier to tighten this point out of the car because it was a pain in it. Fuse box and intake definitely had to come out. Got it tightened and the next time the engine comes out I'll check this again. It has to come out once my friend finishes with the LSD trans rebuild.

How much are they new? If they're not too much I would get another for the reinstall since it is buried in the build. Maybe create a bench test method?

I still have to get in there to take it out to replace. If it's out of the car I might as well just tighten it up, the new one would still need to be checked. I was able to tighten mine enough to hold me over until I pull the engine (again) in a month or so. I actually would have pulled it out to tighten on my bench but I already had my Pressure Bleeder hooked up and (more importantly) my wife in the cabin of Drago to work the clutch to bleed the ToB. My post was more of a 'check this before installing' for future builders or if someone changes theirs out.

Installed a set of Kemimoto UTV Chase tail lights recently, these are the Rigid Chase Light style. With that, I made a new headlights/tail lights/turn signal chart with functions listed. Hopefully this helps someone in the future with their lights wiring. I'm thinking about getting a third unit and using it as a flashing light when I hit the brakes since it has that function (green wire from light).

Will that strobe the entire time you're on the brakes or is there a 1-2 second cutoff?

I only worry about state regs on those lights. Some folks need those “Subaru brakes”. (The Subaru brakes piss me off occasionally a car ahead turning right can set them off)but it’s only noise. Watching some drivers you wonder if they even see brake lights!?)
