Hi All and happy new year

I spent a good bit of time over christmas grinding and cleaning down about the chassis
To say it is a tedious job is an understatement but it is getting there slowly but surely

Also over christmas i got some of the parts i need for the steering

So i got cracking on that to day which ment i had to put the engine back in the car to make sure the clearances were ok

Is this the position for the vmax scuttle

Nice to see you getting on
A couple of points there ain't a lot of rom between the steering extension ad the alternator
Re the scuttle I think I have the measurements but the best way is to stick the nose on mark rear edge on top rails add bonnet then scuttle that way you know it's right will have a look on laptop later and se if I still have that info

Thanks that would be great
And to be honest i will be quiet worried if the engine hits the steering column with that gap

hi steve cant find the pics I took but this is the relevant text that I did for Richard;
Right measuring back from the front edge of FF4 , the front return edge is 109cm back, and the rear bottom corner of the scuttle is in line with the front edge of U5
