    Garey, would you mind posting a picture of your belt set-up? I am trying to figure out a work around for the main tensioner since it is partially supported by the oil filter housing which I am relocating like yours.

      ??? The tensioner isn't supported by the oil filter housing... at least not an any M60 I've ever worked on. I'll get some pics for you though, regardless...

        If your pedal reservoirs go where the hvac used to be, what happens if you get caught in the rain? Did you leave some way to move air inside the cabin?

          Its been almost a year since I tore my M60 apart so maybe my memory is just really fuzzy. I swore the main tensioner mounted on the oil filter housing sort of. A google search this morning proved I was waaaaay off.

            It will have a smaller blower tied into just the defroster vents. That way I can clear the windshield, if needs be. All of it mounts under the dash, in the same area that the HVAC box used to. It really won't see much in the way of inclement weather... sunny day only car. Other than that, stay out of the rain, right? Lol!

                I think I just needed a good smack on the head to get the gears going again. Thanks!

                            Wow, I really like that brake setup!

                            Rear suspension looks good too. How the clearance between the spring and frame rail / wheel well?
