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

I made a recess in the top rail for the thermostat housing. This way everything fits nicely.

Same as yours done 3k now and its never been a problem. As long as its not actually touching you won't have any problems.
