Location of H gearbox side tubes
Hello People.
I am building my chassis first, then dismantling my 2.0 sierra next.
In the book it says to check your engine and gearbox in the chassis and "move if necessary" the H tubes that are at the front of the
tunnel.
Please could someone with the above engine fitted let me know what, if anything I need to modify so that I can fit these tubes with a 2 litre pint and
type 9 gearbox.
Regards

They can be left exactly as per book and fit fine, you could extend the size of the N/S footwell if you feel the need. The engine bearers do need a
little treatment to clear the starter motor though

Mark (et al)
Can you (or anyone else) state a reason for tubes G1 (&G2) not to come straight from the intersection of tubes C w/ H to the intersection of F1 w/
FU1 w/ E (F2 w/ FU2 w/ E)?
Which is the exact distance NEEDED between G1 and G2 to accomodate the lower end of:
a) a crossflow engine;
b) a Pinto engine?

I think that the starter motor might possibly be in the way. might not though, so possibly could be changed.
