Good eye there Ron. I actually built the car 7-8 years ago, and still own it.

What size cable should be used for this torque stay?

3/16"? I like the bicycle lock cable because it's coated.

Do ya think those clamps used to make loops on the end of the cable would be strong enough to hold?

 

[Northstar T]

You mean the bolt on variety? strong enough, yes. but butt ugly Try these. without the special crimpers you'll need to use a hammer to "crimp" them, but still a much nicer end result IMHO. use 2 per loop btw.

These look good, & are strong enough to keep a bigblock at bay....

Measure from front of accessory mounting hole on front of head down to where you want to attach it on the frame, call them and have a cable made up. Use 3/8's cable and up....

Will do

Well, I made my own torque stay out of a turnbuckle. I adjusted the turnbuckle until tight. I did not torque it down enough to make the rubber mount compress. I will see how this works out later.

Thanks for all the ideas

I think I saw a Pete & Jakes master cylinder that had the brake lines coming out of the drivers side as the cylinder was mounted with the push rod going from front to rear. Would that help you?

I'll look into that if this torque stay doesn't do its job
