So now that its on the frame and somewhat in place its time to get the one mount done. Where the mount bolts to the tub there are actually 2 holes in the insert one being threaded and the other blank and the mounts as they sat landed right inbetween them. I had a choice to make a new mount or see if I can tap the inner hole to 1/2" and cut down the mount. Well the insert tapped perfectly and cut the mounts(one shown).

Next the pedal assembly. I tore it down and cleaned/inspected it. Its is great shape and the only worn parts were the link rod for the clutch (still usable but a little worn).

I got the pedal assembly installed. I had to drill holes for the brake master but that was simple and just used the holes in the pedal assy as a guide.

So before I start working on the dash itself I wanted to mount it and check its fitment and a good thing. I found the windshield hold down holes did not line up. I also found lack of threaded inserts for the dash on the passenger side and one hole that needed to be drilled. Otherwise the fitment was good.

So I got the inserts installed. For the 1/4" one in the center and 2 on the passenger side. The windshield hold down are 3/8" and they had to be moved over about 3/4". But now the dash can be stripped and reworked a bit.

With the YJ tub you either put a different tank in or you cut the new hole in the passenger side. This is where the new steel corners came in handy for marking the new hole.

So before I painted I figured it was smart to go ahead and test fit/drill the new corners.
