Nate is a mechanical genius , who has the ability and skills to design and build a workable clutch assembly for the old 1933 Plymouth Coupe. Well Done Nate !!!
Strengthen the main bracket which connects to the bellhousing, Cut off the side bracket that goes to the frame or there is disaster ahead when torque is applied.
Yes the engine rotates on the motor mounts under heavy load and the extra bolt to the frame will get stressed heavily. Something will break!!! Find another way to stabilize the bracket so you can remove that connection to the frame!
@@stephenk79-rc1il The problem will be obvious from the get go with bad vibrations. But what will break? Who knows. It will be the 'weakest link in the chain'.
Just a question., With the engine mounts installed with the normal stock rubber shock style mounts, it would be normal for the engine to torque or twist slightly when accelerating. The new clutch bracket creates a "hard" point tied to the square tubing that will have to absorb that torque. In racing applications, a much stronger system is used to prevent such a twist. Is the square tubing strong enough or appropriate to absorb the torque/twist without cracking or bending with time?
What is going to happen to the bracket when the engine goes under load ? Won't the engine want to twist and the clutch bracket is bolted solid , not rubber mounted. I think something is going to break.
I had a Valiant Charger, clutch set up the same ,when the engine moved to much like Reverse to 1st while still rolling, 😂 and it had a longer slide than that one ,all the best to you all
Nate the only issue that I see with the Clutch assembly is the tie to the firewall frame as the engine will move with normal acceleration and end up cracking the firewall.
Good morning miss jolene, will you please ask nathan and chad why the clutch bracket is attached at the square tube? Correct me if i'm wrong the square tube is part of the flooring and pix or welded at the chasi, while the engine have engine support, i think the clucht bracket will tear because of the vibration of the engine , obet from phillippines✌️👍🙏
Great idea Nate, you’ll figure out your way around the torque problem as you move along. Would definitely want you on any build I was doing. Your thought process is what makes a great hot rod builder. 👍👍🇨🇦
>This is mechanical engineering at its finest Right. Maybe it would help if you knew what mechanical engineering actually is... and it's not just fabricating some metal bracket. "Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems."
When Chad and Jolene head to the races at Pine Tree , Super Nate should go along as Chief Mechanic for the Team Hiltz Race Team , to the old 1934 Plymouth Race Car running well on the race track. Jolene is going break the track speed record. With some pre-race shakedowns and practice.
Great stuff, love these videos. There is a reason why you call him the wizard haha. But he is very mechanically inclined, he is a keeper hahah. Thanks and take care
You have a great point but then again this is not their first rodeo , I think they will catch this soon enough, it still building stages, they have to start somewhere. Take care, it is a good point, I have to keep an eye on this.
I stand by my comment..you have a solid link between the engine and body/frame this will cause noise, vibration, metal fatigue, stress, fracture, failure..also the straight shaft pivot not a good idea, any flex from engine movement or clutch pedal force will cause the system to bind..that is why the stock system utilized a ball pivot..solution: design a clutch lever that bolts directly to the trans fork shaft.. similar to Ford part number 18-7511..pictures sent to Chad.. enough said on this subject..
Nathan is a Genius the way he can make parts from scratch and make it look like it was a factory manufactured part 👍 every time he makes something it blows my mind mechanical wizard👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Genius don’t bolt the trans, engine bracket to the frame. The engine and trans have rubber mounts for movement. His bracket is a direct conflict with them, it will quickly fail.
Great bit of engineering. The question I have, is the engine now solidly attached to the floor pan where any engine movement that is dampened by the moujts will flex the floor pan till it breaks. Just asking so a damper can be included in the clutch attachment,

Nathan…It looks like you have Rubber Engine mounts. Now you have added a Mechanical connection between the Engine and the Frame. Not only will this be a problem when the engine tries to flex, but it will transmit engine vibration. This is why the clutch shaft is between the Engine and the Frame. Not only as the clutch pivot but also as the flexible connection between the engine and the Frame.
you know this is a race car for Jolene right? and engine "flex" ? it has like under 250 ft lbs of torque and will not rotate on its engine mounts more than 1/4 inch it will be just fine.
I have a suggestion for a bad Chad please see that he gets this I have swap some bodies before on different projects I've had I find the easiest way to get the body on is to buy four lolly columns that are adjustable get four truck used drums well the post to the drums then get four bumper jacks and where the post separate weld the bumper jack so it lifts the post top section then you can use 4x4s through the windows to jack the body up and then you roll the chassis underneath this is great cuz you can lower and lift up the body without any struggle and trim excess metal away at your leisure The amount of body swaps and stuff like that you guys do you should have these you can make them out of basically scrap check it out Jolene see if he likes that idea
If the motor is on rubber at the water pumps and out back, isn’t that bracket going to suffer some fatigue from being mounted rigid between the motor and framework? I like the attachment to the bell housing. But I’m not sure about the bolt going to the square tube…

But he's not a "mechanical engineer"... and fabricating a bracket does not make him one.
The engine and transmission are rubber mounted but the clutch assembly is solid...not going to work very well.
Nate is the man !
Nice job, Nate

@stephenk79-rc1il with a coat hanger too 😂

Right... because Nate is NOT a "mechanical engineer.".. and it's joke claiming "mechanical engineering at its finest".
@@metaphor4539 it rotates maybe 1/4 inch that bracket and linkage will be fine..

Now just put a bellcrank throttle linkage on it and put the track safety crew to work.

Probably...but it's "mechanical engineering at its finest". 😅
Hey Team Hiltz, Nate is quite the mechanical engineer when it comes to building the cars!
Nate is a magician when it comes to getting things to work
Waaaaay to go Nate!!!!!!!!! Making things work perfectly. Jolene will brake speed records at Pine Tree!!!!
Right... until under load and SNAP. "mechanical engineering at its finest"... NOT.
Engine flex is why the original stud had a ball on it so it could pivot and not bend
Greg, you are right. Some people just don't read to why the z bar has a ball on the ends
There hooked to motor it will move-with motor
Oops I did not see that last bracket it must go or made to flex.
I had a Valiant Charger, clutch set up the same ,when the engine moved to much like Reverse to 1st while still rolling, 😂 and it had a longer slide than that one ,all the best to you all
Nate is the wizard. He puts his mind to it with what they have and going for it. Thats awesome. Great job Nate.
Amazing!! Nate without any drawings “eyeballed” & made this part….Well Done, Nate.
Nates ability to see and work in 3D is a great asset to Chad.
Love ( ❤ ) the bonus episodes Jolene thanks for sharing......🔥🔥🔥❤️👍🏽💯......Nate = Mechanical Engineering Wizard......🤔
Nate is a true asset. 😊
Looking at this design and only concern is that unless the engine is solid mounted it will tear the bracket off the frame to engine.
did the same thing to an old jeep worked great, nice work Nate and great video Jolene
This fabrication is a great example of the spirit of hot rod custom assembly. Engineering what you need. 👍
Nate is the star of the show! He is what brings the dreams to reality! Nice work !
VERY COOL!!!! THANKS FOR SHOWING US HOW IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LLOYD.
Good one Nate 👍 Go for it Team Hiltz 👁 🐅 👌
Nate the only issue that I see with the Clutch assembly is the tie to the firewall frame as the engine will move with normal acceleration and end up cracking the firewall.
Talent by the truck load. and addictive to watch.💯
Clutch linkage is perfect will work like dream great work NATE and Jolene recording it.

Hats off to you Nate!!!!!!
You do a very good job showing everything way to go love it
Worth your weight in gold Nate. What a great addition you and Doug are to the Hiltz team. Cheers from Australia
Install a simple hydraulic clutch slave and master cylinder assembly and the job is done. Did that on my 1930 Bentley Blower Special.
I'm telling ya that Nate is amazing..
Oregon approves 100%
Nate you are an engineering mastermind! Just wow.

That is fastened to the frame. Torque flex will interfere with it, am I right?
Super stuff Nate! Well explained...👍
LOOKING GOOD WIZARD!
When the engine is running, the vibrations are now going to the frame. There should be a flexible connection.
Great stuff, love these videos. There is a reason why you call him the wizard haha. But he is very mechanically inclined, he is a keeper hahah. Thanks and take care
Hey guys ..you can’t do that. You just bolted the engine to the frame..the engine and trans have rubber mounts for flex..what are you doing!!
Oh but they can and did it will be fine I did the same, the engine has like 1/4 inch movement.. it will be fine
1/4 inch is too much , it will break and make a noisy vibrating body .
They didn't actually bolt it to the frame. They bolted it to the body. If they are putting rubber body mounts on it it will move as well.
You have a great point but then again this is not their first rodeo , I think they will catch this soon enough, it still building stages, they have to start somewhere. Take care, it is a good point, I have to keep an eye on this.

Is the engine mounted rigid? If it has any movement, it will break that bolt off!

WOW!!
This one is awesome by Nate❤❤
Awesomely engineered ❤
Enjoying your videos. A lot packed into a small package. Nice work Nate and a real cost savings for the project.
Nate is good. I think similarly and find ways to make things work.
I like the clutch set-up. Gonna be a beautiful car.
Keep away from the difficult Chadwick. To technical for you
Nate is a natural mechanical engineer
No he's not. I doubt he could calculate the loads involved... which is what a mechanical engineer does. ;)
Hahahahah no kidding
that bracket bolted to the frame is also going to send engine vibrations right through the vehicle
Nate is the mechanical brain of this...operation? Yeah.
Nate is a Baaaad man, he would be an asset to any custom car shop.
Awesome work Nathan.
✌️ Peace
Great bit of engineering. The question I have, is the engine now solidly attached to the floor pan where any engine movement that is dampened by the moujts will flex the floor pan till it breaks. Just asking so a damper can be included in the clutch attachment,
CHAD SHOULD GET A RABBIT TATTOOED ON HIS HEAD..
SO FROM A DISTANCE IT LOOKS LIKE A HARE...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jolene, a project update video would be good. What’s needed for the various projects to proceed. The Bugatti update would be a popular video!
Nate has a way of figuring out how to make things work.
The backet supported by three points, Well done! That's why they call it Fabrication!

That coach bracket is great!
The “Wizard” strikes again!! 🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️🪄
CHAD YOU need to keep Nate around between you and him y'all can build anything
Nate is phenomenal
Awesome thinking but may have a problem when the engine flexes as it’s solidly attached to the floor
0l' Nate is quite capable of making anything work when you give him a few minutes, I'm quite impressed with his talent 👌
He Chad awesome work everything you do,buy Nate a work bench,lathe and a milling machine.
Y'all Aussies are a trip.
Nathan is a great engineer to have around 😊
Truly a wizard Nate. What a team you got Jolene. ✌👍
Awesome, Thanks
What about the flex of the engine
isn't the original mounting the same?
Yea I can see something cracking eventually
nice design Nate, , but don't know about that bolt on to the body structure with engine torque movement ?
Engine is rubber mounted,but the clutch bracket is mounted to the chassis/floor.What happens when the engine moves.
Don't forget that engine will twist when you load it up possible. Bend that bracket
Why would you fasten the engine and transmission to the floor, you are going to feel a lot of vibration.
remove that piece that attaches to the floor and attach it to the engine or bellhousing
I cannot imagine what this would have looked like if Chad built it.
@@Alwhite1929 😂😂😂👍 would not be the same but he would have built it
Does this have solid motor mounts? If not it does now.
Have to love "Nategineering" ! He makes McGuyver look like an amateur!

Braquet need to go on transmission not on the floor Good job nate
Nate they blowing your bag pipes today.
That bracket for the clutch being fixed to the firewall and engine may cause vibration but don't mistake me I love your work
Niiiice. Team work at its finest.
If the motor is on rubber at the water pumps and out back, isn’t that bracket going to suffer some fatigue from being mounted rigid between the motor and framework? I like the attachment to the bell housing. But I’m not sure about the bolt going to the square tube…

Well done Nate!
Dear Nate, what about when the engine viberate in the rubber mounts?
Great job Nate! Come up to eastern shore for a weekend I got work for ya 👊🏻
❤❤❤❤he is a monster wow hold on to him guys
Nate is awesome
Nate the Wizard
Nice 👍
love it as always thank you
Engineer for sure
