 did you make a removable rear clip or is that just open?

Wheels will fit with no issue. Have done my maths and the offset is spot on...  They are looking quite likely. Rear clip is fully removable, makes life much easier when playing engines  Taking the old engine and gearbox out was so easy because of the removable rear.Cya, Sam C

Looking good Sam. Feels good to freshen up, huh? Nice seats and wheels.
Just wondering how you routed the ignition box trigger wire from distributor to the uder the rear seat... After reading the instructions that came with mine, I routed the trigger wire seperate from the high voltage coil +/- wires. I ran the trigger wire through the firewall, under the luggage compartment, and through the rear bulkhead to under the rear seat. The coil wires go through the left rear quarter panel passage. Appearantly, the coil wires can cross-talk over to the trigger wire and cause miss-fires. I don't know if this is a reality, but thought I would mention it. I see you have a 3-bar Kafer brace, but have you welded the frame horn seams and added a intermediate trans mount? RAT T4 torque can wreck the gearbox without support...

Currently the wires are all routed together from under the rear seat through the bulkhead thats under there too, up under the parcelshelf and through another grommet into the engine bay.. After you have said it may cause crosstalk I will be rerouting and using some braided stuff I have to surroud the wires, I will then earth the braid. This should remove most of the risk of crosstalk. The 3 bar system stiffens the rear end up enormously, I can stand on the end of the frame horns and bounce up and down the gearbox WONT move seperatly to the car.... And I am not the smallest of people.. I have been looking at adding the two additional bars to turn the 3 bar into a 5 bar system, and I think I will be getting the intermediate mount for the gearbox too... Perhaps I could tie that into the brace bars too and have myself a 7 bar system! Anyways, got to go... Got uprated antirollbars to fit today, along with a small mountain of urethane goodies!  Will be taking more pictures, so if theres anything good in there I will stick them up here later Cya, Sam C

Todays work:
Bolted passenger seat in (work out where it needs to mount first, mark it, drill, bolt it down). Need to fit some reinforced box section, weld it in and bolt the seats through that, they are a little too low and the floor isnt very strong... Removed about 8ft of unused wiring! Fitted some carbon bits to the dashboard that I have had for a while. Worked out which bits of the antiroll bars are for the front, and which are for the rear. Removed a 52mm tacho and 52mm cylinder head temp gauge. Cyl head temp is now mounted in the dash.    Tomorrow I should be removing the fuel tank and adjusting the play out of the steering box... It was a NOS one and has done 250 miles or so since I fitted it, need to just tighten it up a touch. Bit of wiring for cyl head temp gauge, might fit up one of the anti roll bars too I also managed to get a bit of a sun tan, sitting out in the blazing sun all day working on the car. Successful day all round! Cya, Sam C
