May I just point out that Baz R means that he,ll be doing the alteration to TR8 to allow the Zetec thermostat housing to fit the chassis.

I presume Tatey means he didn,t fit TR5 & not TR8 as he has stated.

Hope you don,t mind me pointing this out, as I wouldn,t like new builders to think TR8 doesn,t need to be fitted.....It MUST be fitted to ensure chassis rigidity across the engine bay.

TR5 can be omitted, subject to choice of engine being installed. If not installing TR5 it is a good idea to brace the engine bay with shorter corner braces between TR1 / TR2 to TR8.

cheers
