Not sure if this helps your issue, but with ref to the 151mm overhang. I hadnt spooted this dimension in the book so calculated it myself. When I did realise the dimension was in the book I had calculated it to be different for some reason. not sure if I have cocked up here as not in the amendments but I make the overhang 154.5mm. Calcs I used are:

sin17 x 528=154.5mm (or as near as damn it)

Anyway 3.5mm isnt the end of the world, I dont think?!?

Cheers

Oh yeah and did I mention you can cut 2-3mm off TR1+2 to make things fit, auto CAD is good for doing drawings but the average car builder can only cut to 0.5-1mm accurately. A little over here and there and it soon adds up.
