I don't think you will be bolting the engine to the subframe while its in the jig so your castors will be ok. Why wouldn't you bolt the engine into the frame while the frame is in the jig? The tolerances are so fine, depending on your subframe design, that you need to bolt the frame into the car then make the mounts accordingly. Unknowingly, the cut I procured was a little out of whack. The conversion I was doing at that stage (suzuki Gti) was an even closer fit than the starlet. So when I went to fit the gti motor/new frame to my car, all was not well. JC |

Around 1976 in the UK (NOT here) they changed to that type of front panel, the subframe was different too. There were 2 rubber teardrop mounts on the front, rubber mounts onto the floor, and rubber mounts and single BIG bolt each side at the top. If using these front panels on an Oz Mini subby, just put the teardrop mounts onto the front. Or, make some alloy plate spacers. |

You can also buy the solid alloy teardrop mounts from minisport locally, you only need the two teardrop mounts: |

Just think of all of the weight you've saved by cutting it out. |

What sort of clearance do you have around the steering column with the lay shaft? Looks very professional by the way. |
