TR5 am i missing something ?
 
Evening all...I have TR5 fitted in my chassis ...but been looking through some build diarys and blogs and it doesnt seem that many of you have it fitted ...i am prone to quick scan reading of the book and missing things ...but for the life of me i cant find a refrence to removing it ...if anybody could let me know

TR5 is usually only fitted if you are installing the Pinto engine, most other engine installs means that TR5 will get in the way.

So, what most folk do is not install it but to put some corner braces into the engine bay ,

Andy......use the length of TR5 & cut it into approx 8 inch lengths & weld them into the corners where TR1 & TR2 meet TR8 ;)

cheers
