I have pushed my Blade engine back into the passenger well by a few inches and ran the cylinder head against chassis rail.

Tube R now extends diagonally across engine bay and picks up the mounts.

I still need to add some removable bracing in front of the engine, the radiator will hang off this also.

The lower engine bay tube has also been cut and now forms a Y around the sump.

Still can't decide between a sort of X or simple A.

Actually, looking favourite is copying the Stuart Taylor one, but in 1" box with different end mountings that drop onto flat plates like most other manafacturers.
