Finish cleaning up the upper pedal mount bracket. I had to add some steel to stiffin up the assembly. I am ready to reinstall the mount and weld it in.

Work continues on the upper pedal mounts. I cut the steel out from the foam templaes and put a bend in them. I then welded a small piece of steel tubing in between. Soon I will weld the upper pedal mount assemble to the sterring-column bracket.

I now have a new slide show on the new “MR2 VW Bug pics page 6” page. MR2 VW bug pics page 6

The pedal mounting bracket templates are basically finished. All I need to do is to trace the profile on the 1/8″ steel plate and cut them out. I will then put one bend in each bracket.

Steering-column bracket construction continues. After creating all of the bends in the bracket I have reinstalled it and it fits good. I am now creating a strengthening member for the backbone which will be the basis for the other mounting brackets in the foot-box.

I can now create the VW bug’s steering-column bracket from steel. Using my foam template I cut out a piece of 3/16″ plate. There are 2 slight angle bends and 1 90 degree bend. There will be 6 bolts holding everything together.

I have now completed the main steering column support bracket template. This template has a fairly complex shape and I will need to take my time when I cut and bend the steel.

Now with everything located on the steel fire-wall, I can reinstall it. I am now working on the steering column mount. This mount will support the steering column and both of the main pedal mounts. First I must create the main mounting template before I can cut and fit the steel.
