Thanks Guys!  ;D

Did an adjustable pedal mount (the two pinch bolts will be clamp handles).

< Insert rant here >  Why can't Wilwood sell a hanging gas pedal to match the clutch and brake.  eyes  Waiting to see them in action but probably won't use them again.

Tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs , tabs, tabs, tabs, tabs.

I did make a handy jig for putting them on though.  I will try to remember to take a pic of it.

















And RC51 Rhino got me a great deal on something I have to get mounted before showing.   8)

Looks awesome! I wish I had the resources to make my own stuff. Are you worried about the mounts loosening and sliding onthe bar? Seems that if you grooved them to fit the bar would create more surface contact like a bicycle neck on a handlebar. Anyway, you know way more than I do about these things. Can't wait to see it done!
If you remain calm while everything around you is complete chaos... then you probably haven't fully understood the situation!

I thought the same on mounts trying to move, but looks like the 3 bolts on ea side are a tight fit around tube?  And since tha go pedel is not mounted with them, should be no problem, thats the one he'll be stomping most anyway.  rofl  Sliding pedals, sliding seats, tilt steering, whats next a/c and heated seats??

Looking good, keep it coming.

I don't think the pedal mount will try to move much.  Because the pedals are hanging down about 8" below the mount, when you push on the pedal it trys to twist the mount (locking it in place) much more than trying to slide them forward. 

I still need to add the loud pedal.

The single bearing mount looks to be sturdy and address my earlier concern about it.

As I mentioned earlier RC51 Rhino gave me a deal on these candles this light bar.  ;D

I have been waiting to finalize the position of the eyebrow bar until I got the lightbar mounted.  It's on, I added the roof bracing, some handles for getting in and out and steps on the side.  I was waiting to put the steps on until I got the side sheets mounted.  It was a lot easier working with the side panels with flat sides not having to work around the steps.

Those LEd bars are very nice. Neat and trim.

Dam eng! Light bar worth more then my whole car.  I like the way you got it inset.  Nice and clean.  Keep hanging shit on that thing and you'll have to twin turbo the Busa. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.
