What appears to be a ford 9" separates on launch. Assume there was a drive shaft loop or the third member (what was left of it) would have beat the snot out of the bottom of this car.
As Ash said converting is not mandatory,but I won't be selling it so while I'm going this far in restoring it,I figured that I would convert it while I could.
I didn't take any photos of the dash while I had it cut up,what I did was take measurements then screwed it to the table before cutting it in four places ,the centre were then swapped across and tack welded,there has been a lot of fiddle work to have it line up and it's not yet finished,with what I've done the steering wheel will be in the same place as it was on the left side,a lot of conversions have the wheel about 30mm offset ,which I'm not a fan of,plus I wanted the air conditioning vents in there,the steering box is from a local falcon with power steering,the drag link is from a 70 model falcon and has been shortened,welded and x-rayed,I used templates from the guy who modified the draglink to mount it all, then holes were drilled and crush tubes fitted to the rails,I'll post more pics as I progress with the conversion,but for now I will be concentrating on the floor pans and rear sheet metal. As for the hand brake I've got one off a ba falcon, it should allow me to keep the original console as it mounts to the side of the tunnel
