after a lot more tinkering and shouting i THINK iv got the engine and gearbox in the right place

would just like a second opinion really!

the gearbox is mounted using the mounts specified in the book, not fabricated any engine mounts yet but have the engine 'in' the car and in what i think is the right place (pics below) one of the pics shows the gap between the engine and what will eventually be a bulkhead, the gap is 48mm all the way across so the engine is straight

however when you look where the gearstick will be it appears to be towards the nearside of the car by about 15-20mm. is this correct? dont want to start making engine mounts only to find iv made a fudge of something and have to re-do them.

in the pic the gearstick is in the 3rd gear position so plenty of travel.
