Can I get away with using the type 9 spec tunnel dimensions ? Or at least reduce the 240mm down a little. I haven't got the diff off my car yet, and just wondered how small I can possibly go, where the tunnel still has enough room to function properly. Any help would be hugely appreciated !
The diff on the mx5 has got a propshaft that is offset towards the drivers side. On mine there isn't much space left over.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
