    Protection around the engine

    Hi Guys, Been giving some thought to the above: Is there a SVA requirement that the rear bulk head (between seats and engine) is at a certain height? I have been considering having mine around 8 inches lower as my lump sits lower and further back. http://s164.photobucket.com/albums/u15/ ...

    Clearance for master cylinder

    Hi all, Fitted my master cylinder the other day. Went for a sierra one in the end. I have mounted it on the left side of the pedal box in order to give it more head room and adapted the pedal and shaft so it all lines up.
