Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

Last night was the steering column and firewall mounting installation. I have included several original photos of how it looked and how we restored that area and the hardware.

The Quietride firewall pad comes with the pad that goes around the steering column just like the original though it does need to be cut out for the steering column, clutch rod and brake rod.

The speedometer cable clip was on the original cable but not attached to the firewall plate. When I tried to attach it, it would pull the cable up tight against the clutch rod so I left it off just like it was originally.

Oddly enough the accelerator pedal attachment bolts were zinc as I usually always find them black oxide on 70 Chevelles. Regardless we restored them as found. The accelerator pedal rod and retainer were both a dark grey phosphate and were restored as such.
