Not quite a build thread....

Just a heads up really,
I purchased a Toyota angled drive for my gearbox as I plan to use the MX5 instrument cluster in some form or another. I'm pleased to tell you the drive fits but the gearbox housing needs some attention.

In order for the drive to work properly you will need to cut away some of the PPF mounting framework on the gearbox.
Here's a picture of the drive before trimming...



As you can see it will either point the speedo cable too low below the chassis or foul on the PPF framework.
I removed some of the framework (bonus saving weight...) to allow the drive to point the cable forward to where it should go.



The framework is all excess baggage now anyway so no harm has been done to the gearbox.
I haven't refitted my engine in the chassis to show you the final result but will as soon as I have done it.

If anybody is interested there are more photos on my Photobucket site.
