It fits so good, like it was made to go in here.

Lots been getting done on this project it’s just not all photo friendly.

We found these really nice wiring harness grommets for pass throughs on the firewall.

Wiring in the cab won’t be running across the top of the floor pans.

HPD catch can mounted.

Overfloow bottle for the w/a intercooler. It’s a little too bling being polished so that will get toned down.

Real estate in the engine bay is getting really tight so the Vintage Air heater control valve got mounted to the underside of the air box we made.

Well, here is the start of it. We have turned the tank into a place to mount some wiring accessories and the OBA compressor. We will also add a pull out drawer for in cab storage.

Tank was narrowed and modified, access cap also designed and fabricated.

Some under seat storage yet it doesn’t go so far as to lose your stuff.

RHS of chassis is for exhaust so the LHS gets the rear wiring harness, brake lines, fuel lines and intercooler lines. That’s a lot but how we like it!

Fenders off and looking a bit chaotic.

Nice to see someone else using the Tesa tape

Ive been cutting it with trauma shears and stopped getting that fuzz on the edges

I scrolled a bit too fast…
I’d this running the FT 300 mm clutch?
If so… what disk excepts the 21-spline h55f (1HZ) input shaft?
And are there gears in the splitcase? Curious about overall gearing.
Amazing build. The elephant trunk air cleaner and gas tank tool box are my favorite.

So I didn’t mention it above but the A/C lines we are making in house. The cap for the FTE compressor just so happens to be a Yanmar application, in a John Deere.

The owner wanted the filler for the fuel tank on the LHS, drivers. The tank is also behind the rear axle so we fitted this FJ40 bucket behind the rear wheel well.

70-series filler neck and cap, obviously being modified to suit the HDJ45.

The owner plans to tow a snow mobile or dirt bike trailer with the Cruiser. It has the Redarc trailer brake controller so we needed to add a plug as well.
