If I where you I would add two bolts in the "other" end of the bracket, all the load would "twist" the two "bottom" bolts that you got now.

Sorry if you don't understand me, I'm from Sweden you know

edit. Btw, your build is BADASS

If you guys read the captions for the pictures, you'll read that it's not finished. This thing will be PLENTY strong. No flexing, no bending. The pictures are just to show the location and type of bracket that is fabricated. The point is that with only 2 bolts this thing is in position, and with the addition of one more bracket, you can install aftermarket pedals by only drilling a couple of bolt holes instead of hacking out half the dash.

I think what is kind of cool is that the remote balance bar adjuster will work so well there as well. When all is said and done I'll fabricate a cover so all the brake system guts aren't exposed.

No problem! I'm glad to have some good guys like you to keep an eye on me! It's nice to know I can't screw up too bad before someone will let me know. Keep up the good work!

I think something must be getting lost in the Babblefish translation. Maybe I should just be posting the finished product and not the build up.

IT IS NOT FINISHED. When it is done it will be very safe and very strong.
