cheers steve, the body lip will still need minor clearancing but nothing a little stitch welding wont cure (the lip is spot welded for those playing at home)
the idea of using welded tube would mean, no leaks into the cavity, no dropping spacers & a far stronger mount for the cylinders, afterall, theres now an extra 35mm hole & more than a few 8 & 16mm holes now, will see how i go for sourcing small sections of tube
bent pushrod to make the pivot the same height will prove interesting, on a downer, my floorpan has to wait another two weeks, minor setback but at least its less rushed for me personally.

Shame when the rest of life interferes with the Vdubs!
