Step 2 put on everything up to the lower "femail" wiper grommets and then get them seated as low as possible so the posts can come through the holes far enough for the nut to thread.

Put the other end of the isolator through the firewall. (Photo is upside down for some reason.)

Stick the wiper posts through the holes. Marke suret that they are centered and pull the posts through as far as you can.

Add "male" wiper grommets and push the down as far as you can go. Ad metal cap washer and then the nut to tighten it all down.

Learned that the "Engine Deck Lid Bumper" is actualy used in 2 places. The other is in the front trunk to keep water out in these 2 holes Actually, that is incorrect! The holes in the front trunk are supposed to have longer rubber tubes in them that allow water to flow out of the trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Really curious. I think the drain tubes are under the spare tire. At least that's where I put mine. |

Got the pressure regulator rebuilt by Eric Shae at PMB and ordered all new hard lines. So I had to clean up the engine bay to be able to start putting parts on. Metal was in great shape underneath the paint and all the seam sealer.

Cary fixed a loose tube for the accelerator cable. That should make the car go faster right?
