Looks awesome wiz, tell me more about this moving of the accelerator pedal.

Matt, its more about not lifting your foot all the time from brake to accel, and because its my bus I shorten the brake pedal, will do that after the brakes are adjusted and working, so now I just have to swivel my foot on my heal to go from brake to accel, us old blokes have a hard time bending our foot back too so I cut the stop off the accel pedal and lower that too, just doing it for my benefit, might not be everbodys cup of tea.

I like the idea of lowering the accelerator pedal, I used to get wicked ankle cramp doing the annual reVOLKS run in the SC.

I hope all you South Austalians got some work done on your Splitty's today, I trimmed and trial fitted some tinware to the engine, its a 1955 built by Andrew Champness from Bordertown, waterboxer 76mm crank and 90.5 pistons, Panchito heads and 40mm Webbers

Are you painting your tinware some fancy colour or getting it powder coated?

vanell · Post by **vanell** » Fri Nov 20, 2020 6:42 pm

Beatts, I might get it vinyl wrapped in camo, wonder if the heat would effect it? So I cut the front off the 1600dp tin

then I cut the back off the 40hp tinware

trimmed them up a bit and its now 40hp look with the dog house cooler

Thanks to Andrew for guiding me thru this, he has done a bunch of these and also has done them with a hidden heater outlet, very trick!
