and a hell of alot easier too

[mrT]

i did mine also the same way as matthew172, imo i think cutting a big chunk out must really weaken the car in that critical area, also lot of hastle for the same thing in the end

I cut a cross where most put a box section. Welded, sanded and painted it looks factory.

When all said and done, you can hardly see it once the engines in. So the age old pikey/box section debate is irrelevant IMO!

ive just bashed mine with a hammer lol

Cut a cross?

[Mieran]

I'm guessing he means cutting a cross, hammer it in then weld the cuts back up

[Paul]

Cut a slit parallel to the floor. Educate with a hammer then fire up the glue pot. Simples

[Count Vaux Alot]

I guessed that's what he ment as apposed to an actual cross

[Benn]

I just dont think it looks nice..lol

How not to do it...

by fitting the alternator on the front of the engine, having made up a bracket, & found a different fan belt, will eradicate the need for this to be done.

[swedge]

i made mine too short the first time so had to sort in when the engine was in :(

wasnt the easiest so dosnt look the best but my engine will be getting swapped in the future

[hotrod]

This is how I did mine!

Should be alright once its painted!!!:)

[Iain]

I can't work out what you've done hotrod?

Front-mounted alternator would negate the need for it but it's a bit of a commitment to getting it working well when prepping an engine bay when you're having your engine bay professionally painted etc.

[hotrod]

Wasn't gonna fit my alternate on the front!

all I've done is chopped a lump of chassis out and filled it in with flat plate!

Didn't build a box or bash it with a hammer!
