Hey Musky 4 Years, 9 Months ago  
I notice you have relocted your floorboard and have a big bar engine guard.

I am thinking about relocating mine and have a few questions before I leap.

Did you make the brackets or purchase them? Where can you purchase them?

Do you have to do anything to the brake lines, gear shifter,,ect....

Just how big a boy are you...

I'm 5'10", but use to be 6' but lost my hair...

Got mine here - http://forums.delphiforums.com/1602/messages?msg=143163.1

Back by the rear tire is a clamp holding a loop of brake line. You need to take the line out of the clamp to get the slack you need. On the shifter side just take the clamp off of the splined shaft on the tranny and rotate it forward a couple teeth. That way you don't have to mess around adjusting the linkage. That's about it. All the controls move forward with the bracket. I'm 6' 3".

Yeah. It's a real honor smacking my head on stuff other people just walk under.

Have some heat handy when you get ready to take the floorboard mount bolts out. They can be a B**ch. Yami Loctite is tough stuff. Torch or heat gun will work. I used loctite when I put them back together too. Don't want those parts falling off.

Jreed--

I did the same to mine...moved them forward 3" and tilted 15 degrees. Like Musky said, it works fine by loosening that rear clamp...the stock brake lines work fine. BUT...if you get the bright idea to switch over to stainless braided lines at the same time, like I did, you'll need a few more inches...stainless steel doesn't seem to stretch as well as rubber... I went with the Galfer SS +6 on the rear. Plenty of line to spare.
