#1 Gearbox to chassis clearance

Post by Rich70 » Fri Feb 17, 2023 9:07 pm

Hi all,

My engine and gearbox are out of the car at the moment whilst the car is going through restoration.

Could someone provide me with the distance between the top of the gearbox housing (where the engine rear stabiliser bolts on) to the bottom lip of the firewall above the gearbox.

The lip in question is pictured below.

Many thanks in advance.

I think it’s 35mm, but I would appreciate if someone could confirm this for me.
