I started my 5spd swap Friday afternoon but with the Decatur Swap Meet, catching a fever and the weather today, this is as far as I got.
I thought I would make a Big Giant Sword! But, not feasible.
I went the clutch cable direction so I had to make the quadrant. I could of bought one but I have less important things to spend $75 on like hookers and blow. I didn't have any material thick enough so I started by sketching and cutting out 2 pieces of 3/16 plate.

Tacked them together and started cleaning them up.

Drilled and tapped a hole for the cable retainer

And a clip to hold it all together. I still need to clean everything up.

And cut a groove in it for the cable.

Although welded on 3 sides, I wanted to make sure the seam in the groove didn't split so I cross drilled and welded the plated together.
