- Cover chassis and rear of tub in tape.
- Pull tub on back with front pointed up and ensure that bottom of tub goes underneath back chassis rail
- Mark where it fouls on roll bar and top of rear bulkhead
- Remove tub and trim inside line marked
- Repeat a numbet of times removing small amounts every time - Sanding wheel on a Dremmel worked well.
- You will probably find that both the horizontal and vertical planes of the tub will need trimming. There's a photo in my blog that shows one
of my sides done.
- Once you're happy at the back, check that you have enough clearance where the sides 'clip' over the side rails where the
'dash bars' are welded. Mine needed quite a bit of work to get these so that the back of the tub butted up against the rear rail.
- Trim around bar under scuttle. The tub should now be effectively on from foot-wells to rear.
- Next job is suspension holes - I haven't attempted these yet.
Edited cos I can't type. Take your time! Oh and support the sides where you trim around the dash bars!
Good Luck!
