If memory serves me right, I believe there is about 100mm clearance between chassis & ground.

I wouldn't want more than 25mm of sump bellow the chassis

What engine are you fitting ?

[Tilly819]

honda blackbird cbr1100xx

i take it you don,t like your neighbours??
insurance shouldn,t be too bad if you go with a kit car insurer, also depends on your age/driving experience.
enjoy making the mounts.
if i may add, try & locate the regulator/rectifier somewhere where it gets airflow over it as they get hot & burn out, honda,s achilles heel.
cheers

I am sure it will be worth the cost.

You can't put a price on an ear to ear grin

yes you can just call jordans plastic surgeon

If you can have it flush with bottom rails it would let you skin the entire floor and save cracking the sump on speed bumps.

I love the sound of angle grinders in the morning....

Ahh its 9AM in the morning my brother has been in the workshop on the milling machine since 6, and now to return the love to my naighbours who were at it all yesterday with an electric drill and circular saw in the back garden making what can only be described as a rarther wonky peice off decking so its time to crack out the angle grinder and return the love.

Engine is going in well so far have got the 2 sets of gear box mounts in, have re tapped the engine mounts to M12 to match the rest off the car and am now setting about making a removable top frame to make getting the engine in and out nice and easy. hope to get some pics up later iff i get chance

How do you put them up so they just apear rarther then having to log in and then click on the little atached photo icon??

Chears hope we all have a productive day
