The gearbox has been seperated from the engine so it was easy just to place it roughly in it's final position so I could estimate how much I could cut and bend out the panel closest to my right foot. It's very tight between the pedals so any extra space is welcome. I'll probably have to wear ballet shoes to drive the car anyway!
A very small gap right of the three round pedal holes will give a little extra space for the right foot! I noticed also that the gearshaft cover has to be changed as this one is obviously from the right hand drive donor!
To vary the work a little I also started on the front suspension but came across a problem where the bottom brackets on the chassis are slightly too close so the wishbone won't quite fit in. I'm still at the stage where I'm reluctant to bash anything too hard - I want to try to bend it as in B in the photo and not A.
Peter says this is quite normal when a chassis is first made on
a jig and then welded; small adjustments may have to be made.
