What I'd suggest is to build up your chassis to the point of the transmission tunnel. And assuming you already have the gearbox and engine, place the gearbox in it's relative position within the chassis, then get your seat or cussion or whatever and sit in the normal driving position in the chassis and move the gearbox until you feel comfortable changing gears and it's not intruding too much into either footwell.

Then marking off and measuring where the tubes will sit, making sure there's still room for the engine in the front, and build the transmission tunnel round the gearbox and propshaft.

You don't want to finish the car then realise that you can't get it into 3rd without leaning forward.

Have a look at my links section - one of the sites has a very good set of 3D drawings of the Locost which may help you.
