Default Engine clerance

Started trial fitting my engine this afternoon, but having a few issues.

My reverse light switch is very close to the transmision tunnel upright of the chassis (with the gearbox aligned central with the tunnel). I can't move it any futher back as the thermostat housing touches the chassis.

I could move the full lot 2" foward, but i'm sure the futher back, the better. (EDIT: thinking about it, then my gearstick would be through a chassis tube, so that won't work)

Any tips?

Cheers

Dave
