Engine to firewall spacing

[Ryan_Miller]

I mounted my tub last night and things fit fairly well.

The only spot I have any trouble with is the throttle linkage as it bends around the exhaust manifold barely rubs the firewall where the edge curls outward.

I do not have my other floor panels bolted on and that may make a difference

I am thinking the engine may be setting back to far or the panels may pull it back some when the floor pans are bolted on.

How much space should there be between the firewall and the throttle?

On my 51 I have 1 5/16 inch of clearence on it..you need others let me know as I have 4 sitting here

Hey thanks!

I am going to clean up the last panel and then mount the floor pans and bolt the tub in place and see if things pull together a little.

Right now it is barely rubbing the throttle linkage, so an inch or so is not much to be off.

Thanks for the help.

Greg, I haven't heard from you in a while. Looks like you have things together on the jeep.
