The front crossmember needs relieving to clear the pulley. The raised seam at the front of the tunnel(under the battery box)has to be folded back to allow the whole unit to align gearbox and engine mount holes. Passenger footwell needs adjusting to accommodate the bell housing, and where the exhaust passes between the chassis rail and the inner arch needs opening up.The engine and box flew in afte...

My floor panel is definitely 18 1/2" = 470mm. So yours is within 3mm of mine (1/8") It does look like your new Toeboard is oversized.

What width is the square front of the footwell? Mine is 15 1/4", external. But then I made those too!
( I am secretly checking my dimensions against yours! )

Malcolm,
I agree your logic. So it looks like either the Toe board is made oversized so that you can adjust the width to suit you car ( this is the happier answer!)
OR, your floor is too narrow!

Don't get diverted by my measurements. I ma have made my chassis rail baseplates too narrow, although they lo9ok right to me.! From your last photo with the tape measure it looks like yours h...

Yep, in garage now and agree with the 3 inch and 2 inch measures. Rail is slightly splayed but not enough to cause all the discrepancy I don't think.

If you reckon the floors are about right I might just go from there!

I've just built a circuit for my rev counter and I think I'm getting a lot of 'noise' on the input signal because the monostable driving the meter appears to be double triggered. Anyone done this before? Any ideas on how to cure it? My reference for the original circuit was from an article entitled 'Tiger Tach Rebuild', Sept 2000, and generally it works well at high revs (2000 plus) but starts to ...

Ah so you hadn't gone for a pint!

Mine is a Frog. I didn't think the shells were different in these respects. But mine is at least as rusty as yours - rather more so you will be amazed to hear! So possibly my dimensions are a bit distorted.

The reason I measure in inches isn't just to be pedantic! It is because if there is any doubt (e.g when measuring to frilly rusted edges) I inter...

Sorry, was a bit of a crap camera phone picture.

A bit of a paint diagram to summarise... Not to scale of course!

I will go and investigate my rails... Might post again shortly from my phone cheers guy

I wish you had added this to the original thread ...

If there is a gap between the screen side seal and the front of the quarter light, or the seal is being squashed, then the whole screen has to be moved forwards or backwards. The two must only just touch, all the way up, so the angle of the screen is critical as well. You could at a pinch move the door on its hinges, but that will chang...

I think Malcolm must have gone for a pint to assist his brain in working things out!

Just noticed that you say the chassis rail less one flange is 70mm. But then your drawing is dimensioned as showing 70mm across both flanges.

If less one flange is 70mm, maybe the sides are splayed slightly, rather than folded inwards as I stated. Or maybe when I rebuilt mine I have built in slightly...

OK, 4-way bullets by the rear light or 2-way by the fusebox then, or one of the four reds not connecting to the fuse.
