RE: 79 SR4 disc brakes ah whatever

YES,  I had a really good night tonight. Last evening I got the
backside of the flywheel painted machinery gray. I gave the
bellhousng a coat of primer and then some AMC engine blue,
made it look real nice. Tonight I hung the flywheel after using the
tips I received to drive the bushing home (it worked great) (my
wife had no clue about that little chunk of sponge missing from her
kitchen stuff) (I told her we had mice) (heh, heh, heh) . I bolted up
the clutch disc and pressure plate and put the clutch fork in the bell
and hung the throw out bearing on it and bolted the bell up. I dragged
the T5 out of the basement and poured about 3 quarts of synthetic
ATF in it, and slipped it right in, I couldn't believe it, it went the very
first time!!  I hung the crossmember under there too just to see what I
will need to do to make a transmission mount, any good ideas? I marked
the hole from underneath onto the aluminum plate I made to cover the old
automatic shifter hole so I could take that off and make a hole in it for
the
B&M shifter I got for the T5. Next thing to think about is the drive shaft.
How much of the yoke should be sticking out of the transmission to allow
play back and forth when the rear axle moves. I grabbed the Mustang drive
shaft
which is a little beefier than the Javelin shaft so I think we'll work with
the
u joint yokes off of it. While the shop is making the drive shaft I'll get
started
hanging freshly painted suspension up front and disc brakes. Looking for an
awesome set of wheels and tires, I saw a set of I think Simmons wheels in a
Hot
Rod magazine on a Camaro, the Camaro looked like s**t but it had great
wheels.
I think they are made in Australia. I getting pumped just thinking about
driving the
 car with a manual 5 speed in it. Should be awesome.
Thanks for the great help you guys,
Armand
