And the adventure begins…
After trying to fit the lever into the center console, it turned out that the attach points for it were welded slightly twisted. A a result the lever would rub on the side of the slot (see later post). After a little discussion (i.e. 20 really hard blows with a 3 lbs mallet) all finally fit nicely.
This is a lot of fun! The control column assembly and the mixer and idles are fun to install. Can’t wait to see this all in action.
My very first pop rivets!! It’s fun! How could I live without them for so long?
Some reaming and grinding required, but in all, quite quick to assemble.
