Re: My -68 SRL311 project
Thanks!
I am missing steering column covers and I am not certain if original plastics would fit. For some reason that ignition key column is very close to dash. Actually it is almost touching. How close it originally?

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
I pushed car away from lift so I could assemble doors. First time in garage floor for over two years!
Also put hood in place and now it wont open again! Latch mechanism is working so cable is still attached but for some reason it just stays stuck...

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
Your hood not wanting to release is not unusual. It is just a matter of getting the pin on the hood aligned with the hole on the cowl. A little gentle experimental nudging side to side and front to back should free it. Then just lower it gently and observe the alignment.

That is a battery hold down clamp, the notch faces down and a j hook rises upwards to the rectangular piece that surrounds the top of the battery.

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
Thanks all for info about that bracket!
And I got hood opened from underneath. Pin was on other side so after it got through lock hole it was stuck behind lock sheet metal. It was pain to get it opened as you can´t reach it by hand. Now pin is centered but haven´t closed hood yet.
Now I am waiting last parts from JT and hopefully soon I could try driving with this thing.

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
I have driven mine for years without the hood pin on it. Never had any problem with it shaking. I remember my 1500 would come loose once in a while. If i hit 70mph or so it would start to float up a bit from the airflow through the scoop.

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
Is there something missing on my trunk lock? It rotates 360 degrees so should there be something that stop it rotating?

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
I noticed that front brake hose can go between spring. Is it so that my brake hose is too long or is there supposed to be some guide for hose to prevent that?

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
Looks like someone tightened the hose to the block on wheel after putting it on the steel line. My experience has been that you have to fully tighten the block side and then the other or it can twist in to there. You have to hold the hose in place with a wrench while tightening the steel line or you get that twist.

Re: My -68 SRL311 project
You'll probably have to bleed your brakes since it may get air in the line when you fix it.
