Default don't build chassis without the engine/gearbox ready to try

Hello there,

I think it is not wise to construct the chassis to the book measurements and just mirror a few elements.
From the different replies you can draw some conclusions but I would advise anyone to build the (LHD)chassis with engin/transmission ready to trial fit before welding the front part of the transmission tunnel.

I'm ve built a LHD chassis with Pinto engine/type9 gearbox and had to alter a few things in order to accomodate these and have enough space for my broad feet!
Clutch lever : left hand side of transmission, seen from the driver's side
Starter engine (right hand side of transmission, seen from the driver's side)
