Solrac's Reventon (Frankenstein) built

I agree, you are going to need that piece and then you can use the Mercedes latches.  With such little clearance you really need to make sure that your door jamb does not hit the striker on the way down.

You need to find someone to make you the latch indention and splice it in. I don't have an inner door yet so I can't help at the moment but I'm sure you could find someone on here to help. Good luck.

Around an inch or less.

How much space do you have between that door jamb and the jamb on your 1/4 panel?

[solrac]

What door latch would u guys recommend?? My doors are straight and has no angle for w126 latches. I had already gotten the w126 but I noticed they wouldn't fit. Or should I reshape the door to make them fit???

i finally got all the pieces today to complete my diy coilovers set up..

If you get the front of the body to sit lower will you be able to see out of the windshield?  Your roof line will also drop and in the head on picture you're already dealing with very limited space. Not to mention if you put the gauge pod in there it's going to be even more limited from the looks of it. Was this body designed for the fiero or mr2?

I haven't sat on the car my self to see how would it looked. Still trying to deal with details of the engine. I keep jumping back and forth so I won't get discourage lol. The body wasn't design for a specific donor it was build to oem specs. That's why I think I am having these dimension issues.

Maybe you should look into a hydro boost unit. You already have the power steering pump on your LS 4.

I really like the idea of remote reservoirs.  How did it work out for u?
Any air bubbles in the system?

Before you try to relocate the booster/reservoir.  You may want to try placing a few washers on the upper studs of the brake booster.  This will allow the booster to lean down thus lowering the reservoir.  If you still do not have enough room after you insert the washers, you can change out the reservoir to either a shallow one or go to a set of remote reservoirs.  I had to that on my diablo build to clear the body

havent really looked into it. ive been looking into how to get the body to mount lower. Right now it is hitting the break booster reservoir. So i am going to try to relocate the whole break booster lower. If that dont help or cant be accomplished then i will just have to lower the suspension which i didnt want to do. will be working on installing the engine first . hopefully next weekend ill get on it.

Did you figure out your steering wheel location problem?   Hopefully you can just shorten it and it will look much better.
