In this video I go over the steps of marking and drilling the holes in the adapter plate. After those are finished, I cut the excess pieces off the plate. The finished adapter plate looks fantastic if I do say so myself!
You might later have wished you used a large piece of material for your adapter that way you can use it for a structural member to the chassis as a midplate. Of course you could and probably would want to go this route as most race cars are build this way. I love the effort.
Thanks for the input but it does have ears on the 4 corners to attach it to corresponding mounts in the chassis later on. It doesn't need to be any larger though as the car isn't very wide and I'm building the chassis around it. The plate will end up being the rear most powertrain mount as well.
You're not done yet. You will need to bolt the clutch slave onto the top of the Subaru bellhousing and mark where it interferes with your adaptor plate. Remove your adaptor plate and remove that section. Pray that it also clears the back of the motor.
I saw that as an issue and I think it will not clear the crank sensor that is behind the plate. Current plan is to convert it to an aftermarket pull type slave cylinder mounted behind the release arm. That and the flywheel hub adapter will be in part 3 of this series. I also have a video coming out of the modifications I've done to the transmission to convert it to fwd soon! A lot of the info I needed I found on your site, awesome work you guys do!!!
Thanks for the tip and I do believe my newer videos are much more concise. I think this was my 3rd ever video and so was very poorly edited and thought out.
