I think I've got my sump 40mm below the bottom chassis rails.
Try to get it as far back as you can without the clutch slave hitting the chassis.
Have you got your bodywork yet? I had to shift my engine 25mm towards the passenger side to get the intake manifold to clear my Saturn bonnet.

No not got bodywork yet may try and get hold of spud to see if I could borrow some seconds if he has any

Good to hear that you are working away on your build. Any pictures you can load up??

Hi David,
I fitted the engine in the same place as Skov and Davidbolam but I have the AGM body kit and have no problem with the throttle bracket hitting the GRP.
;)

Post some photos of your car for an update....:)

Johno,

I really like the look of the agm bodywork and have my engine as far back as possible. When I looked at their measurements of their kit I'm not sure it will kit.
Can you tell me how far your engine is from the front member?

Hi David,
Will check measurement tomorrow. I'm very happy with the AGM kit, sure there are a few imperfections but nothing that can't be sorted. :D

Help me please !
 

What drag links are to be used on the mx5 roadster please ? Any help would be really appreciated. Oh by the way, I bought a crash repairable mx5 over the weekend for £300. There are loads of them around in scrap yards, and you get all of the paperwork that goes with it, but without the guilt of wriping apart a clean car.

They're BMW 5 series ones; Motaquip part number is VTR325 (BMW E34 5 series saloon, 1988-1996).

HTH.

Thanks for that Pork chop, you are a star. I have got the Gillham online manual, but it seems really vague.

Those have a different thread to the Transit ones , 16mm vs 18mm IIRC so make sure your wishbones are made with the right thread,

Cheers
