Car looking sweet John,
I notice on the photo you have negative camber on your rear wheel. Do you still have plenty of adjustment on the lower wishbone even with a half locking nut in place to take this out? The reason I ask is Lukes car is the same as your photo but has little adjustment left to take this out. Is it possible for you to measure the centres of both top and bottom wishbones (centre of bush to centre of hub upright fixing point) please...  I just want to check that our wishbones are the same as yours as we made ours to SSC drawings and I know yours are from Andy.. Cheers Johno....ps I think we had the worst of the snow in our area as I had to dig our cars out..

Nice to see the build pictures coming along.
Did you take any measurements or did you draw a diagram when you made the engine mounts? I am using a 1.6 myself and want to get around the bonet clearance problems. If so please can I have the details David

Haha, it does look a bit "Solo Polo Peeper" now you mention it Michael
Johno - that rear wheel is only on there very loosely at the moment, which might be why it's sat at that angle. I'll try to remember to investigate and take some measurements next time I'm out there. David, if you look through my photos there should be a load with measurements showing my intended engine position. Essentially I've just got the sump 40mm below the bottom rail, and the engine offset to the passenger side by 25mm. I've also purchased an inlet manifold from a Mk2 1.6 recently, which may or may not help with bonnet clearance - watch this space!
