I got my pedal box spacer in from MM today! Isn't it beautiful?!

It was $35 with shipping included. I consider it a deal. Especially considering that no one else makes these things.

If anyone is changing out boosters or whatever, MM is the place to get this part

ive swapped boosters and pedal assemblies several times and i've never see this "spacer," at least not loose. is it glued on to something or.......?
It might have got stuck to your pedal assembly or the firewall on your mustang.

The original plastic one fell apart on mine when I removed the auto pedal assembly.

EDIT: Hey Chuck, just thinking, maybe it's stuck in the firewall insulation?

So, the bathroom.......

It's finished except I still don't have my new countertop/sink yet:fuss:. Lowe's said it would be in next Saturday.........it was supposed to take two weeks six weeks ago.:cry:

Actually, I could have worked on Booger last night. All I had going on was drinking a couple Imperial Stouts and talking to Mike.

Oh well, I did something tonight though.

I finished the last diagonal bar of the cs! Well.....not "finished"......kind of. I got the bar cut and shaped to fit between the rung and the sfc. Then I cut out the section needing to fit around the rear torque box. Pictures.

Tomorrow, if I have time at work I'll trim out the little filler pieces for it and weld it all up. Dressed and welded into the cs. Then I'll cut off the spot welds and finish it up like the other side.

MAN! I like working on Booger! Working on a bathroom has given me new appreciation for being in the garage, lol.
 
I forgot tonight is Halloween, I may not get too much done.

But I found a little extra time at work and made the filler pieces. Maybe I can spend the ten minutes when I get home and weld it.

Lowe’s just called me a couple minutes ago. My countertop is finally in! So I’ll probably do that for Thursday and Friday nights. Then Saturday it’s nothing but football and Booger! Woohoo!
 
So what? If I'm a little crazy and obsessive, so what?

(This might be what I'm referencing).........It's raining here tonight, so naturally after work I went and got my new sink/countertop. It's going to get wet in the bathroom anyhow, right?

I figured I'd just let it set in the front room of the house till tomorrow night. Of course I would need to open the box up to make sure it's ok and no paperwork got wet.

Might as well check the measurements, right?

To shorten this story, the new countertop is installed with the new fixtures. Figured the shut off valves for the water were due to be replaced, so........

I'm screaming right now, just very quietly.

Bright side? I'm done with the bathroom, back to Booger tomorrow night!
