How old is that brake master cylinder? Is it still serviceable?

Don’t know if it’s the original one, if so then it is from 1986

Clutch master cylinder/clutch pedal mount. Still have to decide on whether I want to use the boosted or non-boosted clutch master cylinder. I would have to make more holes if I go the boosted route.

The two short U shaped bracing, with the X’s in them, are doublers installed on the firewall for the use of the boosted clutch master cylinder

Here is one example of why you need the lhd version of this spot welded on part on the firewall, aside from being part of the mounting points for the steering wheel column. The clutch pedal mount has two bolts that get bolted up to this needed part. I guess if I can’t find this needed part I can try and fab up something.

Removed the two doublers for the boosted clutch mounts and removed the gas pedal attachment point

Needed a smaller hole here, someone apparently needed a bigger hole. So get to make my first patch. I think it will hold.

The builder was able to machine a hole in the oil cooler cover for a block heater

Just curious why you went to the effort to put it there? To keep oil warm too?

That's where the factory cold climate model had the block heater. Didn't think about warming the oil, probably wouldn't warm the oil too much though.
You are going through all of this work on the conversion: I'd get a new booster and master at the same time. Refresh everything and get rid of old parts. There is a market for the old stuff too.

Ready for POR15

POR15 done. Now waiting to apply a black topcoat
So that piece you’re in need of for the steering column. I’m trying to figure out what it is.
Is it just the piece that goes under the column to bolt it to the support bracket which is fastened
to the round pipe?

What did you prep for the POR-15? Wire wheel and a metal prepper?
I found the stuff only stuck to a patina. What were you going to top coat with?
I'm in the same boat here soon when i rip the flat deck off my 79
