Finally finished my floors and trans tunnel with my custom size 14 notch for better gas pedal operation. My first attempt at really fabricating...
Ah, gotcha. I think ground clearance is OK at 9” (at unloaded ride height). The pipe is actually above the transmission case and the bell housing....
Yes! Thanks for the reply. I’ve been researching slip yokes and u-joints to try and determine what I need and the size of it and came to the same...
This is what has been lurking in the back of my head after I finished that first section. I looked proudly at my beginner-level work and thought...
Concern being close to the frame? I’ve got 1/4” clearance at those spots, though the pics don’t reflect that. I know it’s not a very clean...
Thanks. I do have some room to move the pipe over, but I’d like to avoid it if possible….more work and it may shift the muffler a tad too close to...
Thanks for the replies. I feel better about the location now and will continue the exhaust build as I have it now.
I am slowly building the exhaust on my 32 roadster project (8ba flathead and T5 transmission) and I am curious what the consensus is for clearance...
So I’ve mocked up another. No hose rotation, but now the hose is pretty high (bleeding issues ahead??) and I wonder if it will hit the underside...
I will definitely be running a vent on the axle; just not one of those vent bolts for the hose to mount to. I’ll keep that in mind when finding...
Thanks again for all the insight. I am going to modify the bulkhead as suggested in order to prevent the slight rotation of the hose. I may try...
I was not planning on using a vent bolt for the flex hose mount - just going to weld on a 7/16” bolt as a stud. I kinda like the idea of being...
Thank you! The credit must be directed to the frame builder Blackboard Hot Rods for what you see in the pictures of this thread. I am just trying...
Thank you all for the suggestions and ideas. Seems like my gut instinct was right and the hose should not be rotating at all inside the bulkhead...
