engine positioning
Well I have a part completed book project.
came with pinto mounts with type 9 box mounting in place.
Q?. My gear lever (type 9 box)is about 50mm or so back from the wide section of the tunnel is that correct.
Q?. I am using a 1700 x/f and the mounting looks to be app 200mm or so in front of firewall, does this sound OK? as all the pics in the book show x/f
mounts to be much further forward.
Q?. Anyone got a pair Allegro handbrake cables
Q?, Is a cover plate necessary between x/f and type 9, if so what did you use
sorry its a lot to ask, cheers Rob

Dont just build it.....make it!

But make sure that the end of the box does not coincide with the tranny tunnel uprights on B2 - Causes problems with atrying to pass anything else
through the tunnel such as brake/fuel pipes, loom, speedo cable etc (don't ask me how I know..........)
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Build your tunnel round your gearbox. You'll get your gearlever where it suits you but make sure you have room for your feet on the pedals.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
