I have a Saturn based chassis with a 1.8 MX5 motor. I want to avoid power bulges on the bonnet!

Hi Neil,

If you are using the 1.8 engine this will fit with it place directly down the centreline. i'm using a 1.6 engine and have it slightly towards the nearside which means there is a little bit more room for the clutch slave cylinder to work.
