    I don't remember there being anything of concern with the suspension kit clearing boxes and such.

    Aside from adding loads of castor puts the front wheel onto and rubbing the front wing!!! Craig had to cut his front wings out to give clearance!!
    Great, thanks chaps.

    Front wing cleerance won't be an issue on mine!

    You will only need the arms Colin. Tie Rods will need to be suited to your cross member and brackets may as well be too.

    I have a surplus pair of brackets and tie rods if for any reason you need them.

    You've got the Hangar 30 kit on yours too Craig?

    My concern about gearbox clearance is due to the fact my engine/'box has been lowered in the chassis. So I wanted to see how much room there was on a stock installation.

    Mine are Ben's arms but the rest is all fabricated to suit my car. I run a lot of caster and my cross member isn't in the original position. Gearbox doesn't come near the tie bars on mine and yours is small block so should be loads of room.

    I have an extra brace under my front end, that's the only thing you will struggle with for clearance.

    Cheers Craig.

    So what type of tie bars and brackets is it you have going spare?

    I'm planning to drop in to see Mitch at Proline tomorrow, as I’m working up that way. Thanks again for the recommendation.

    Have dropped a PM to you

    You don't have to keep apologising with this car, it's not the red one.

    Can't wait to see the finished plumbing pics.
