Large hole caused by fat gearbox, need to make a folder so that I can patch this up neatly as possible.
Moved the steering column over to bring it in line with the pedals and to help the exhaust manifold a bit. Its also been moved more towards horizontal to allow the floor mounted pedal box to work better. Drivers seat is about an inch away from the rear seat bench so pretty far back. Whilst on this subject, I was told by a local scrutineer that new reg's state that the original brake pedal must be used. My polite reply to this was that if anyone says anything to me about it at scrutineering the can go f*&ck themselves......nothing more was said on the matter.
Turrets sort of tied into the cage for a little piece of mind. engine has a good inch available to go further back, once the motor is back out I'll shift the tabs for the mounts a bit further back.
The X member from the old shell pre bulkhead mods has been chopped about a bit and re-used.
New design for the gearbox X member, uses standard S50 rubber mounts and should protect the sump plug which is a little exposed. It also picks up at both the main casing and the tail casing so less stress for the box over jumps (if I ever drive that fast!)
Hopefully it'll be stripped down and in the air soon.
