MX5 direct fit chassis

[Talonmotorsport]

The standard sump sits 40mm below the chassis rail on this too, this pic was taken before TR8 was cut to pull the eng/Gbox back another 180mm, it now fits under my bonnet without touching. I think on average the bonnets on Roadsters need at least a 25-30mm power bulge to clear the front of most cam covers.
