I can get you a pic but it's with an Ashley exhaust and not standard

Are you lowering the arb or the tie bar as that's a better option imo add a 20 mm block between the cross member and tie bar bracket and just extend the bracket at the single hole side as that's going to be lower after adding the block.
This moves the tie bar away from the gearbox

Ok, in these case the problem is the clearace between ARB and manifold, what do you mean with moves the tie bar???these afternoon we made the spacers and try to assembly all the parts to put the car on the floor.

You can move the tiebar bracket down on the crossmember which he's saying might help move the angle of the ARB.

Granted mine has a larger exhaust manifold, but even with lowered tiebar brackets, and ARB on blocks I still needed extra washers on the brackets to clear the exhaust manifold.
