Will the dash rail be cut when it goes into meeni, or just the shelf?

Oh and the only reason that front bit is cut is because I couldn't be stuffed drilling out the torque bolts on the old pedal box, when I fit it to meeni I won't be as rough and ready

I think he did also mention that the dash base needs to be cut out somewhat.

Rail will be cut also to clear the master cylinders but braced accordingly, won't be cut all the way down maybe half way, just enough

Just remember you'll probably have to pad it or put a full rail back in, if it hasn't been considered.

More shiny bits in the mail today, figured by
The time I added fittings to my remote filter it would hit the frame so bought a 90 degree one instead and some fittings. Does it
Matter where I mount the other filter? I'd like to have all of the maintenance parts in one area..

Also sat the master cylinders and reservoirs in the car so see what sort of space I'd have, got to make a custom braket for them, they will sit lower..

Another boring update sorry.. I'm poor at the moment

If you're poor, start polishing!

It has to be done some time!

Keep up the good work! I am really pleased you were able to use the pre-ADR argument. This is shaping up to be a really good conversion.

Thanks :) I'm glad I've been able to go that way too, it makes life easier for me from a setting up point of view.

And I certainly have plenty of polishing to do! I'm not looking forward to getting all the custom parts and brackets ready for paint...

Wow! awesome work meeni, good updates too. I found the debate about subframe quite interesting.

This is definitely a project i'll keep an eye on :)
