Tr5?
Spent the weekend taking the chassis together ready for welding, later whilst looking at chapter 6 fitting the engine I noticed no TR5 in the picture is it needed?

Hi
Guess it depends on what engine you intend to fit ? If fitting a pinto, TR5 shoud not get in the way. Personally, I have fitted a Zetec in my build & TR5 gets in the way if the inlet manifold so I have removed it. I believe quite a few folk have removed that brace & have replaced it with a couple of shorter ones, either side of the engine bay ( Your engine choice will dictate the length of the new braces ) The picture in the book probably had TR5 left out to provide more detail of the engine & steering position

Yes the engine bay needs bracing as it will twist like a twisty thing
