Any suggestions would be great, like where is the best place to route the wiring and best place on he fuse box to attach.

I was thinking of going through the hood release bar's tubing to cross over to the driver's side and pass the wire through the firewall with the hood release cable.

Any other ideas. ]]> Aftermarket Down-draft carbs khirodock2 http://www.opelgt.com/forums/aftermarket-down-draft-carbs/22861-new-weber-install.html <![CDATA[[WTB] complete clutch fork (with bearing)]]> http://www.opelgt.com/forums/opel-ad-board/22859-wtb-complete-clutch-fork-bearing.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:36:00 GMT well I was progressing nicely on the reinstall of my getrag when hey where is that clutch fork an bearing? :banghead: look for a week an no can find. no problem call opel gt source "Dennis got this? yes on the fork no on the bearing:banghead:"

My tubes are worn, to the point of not even being flat-ended... Also, the tubes have apparently already been replaced by someone else, and that someone didnīt really measure before welding... Therefore, one tube sticks out more than the other, they are not welded in equally far, longitudally.

So I have to redo everything. On to my question then...

How long are the tubes supposed to be, exactly? And, how far are they supposed to stick out, say on the front side. Just so that I know in what position to weld them.

Iīd appreciate any comment on the subject.
