Tidied up the garage today. Got rid of the transmission box and other rubbish. Space to work now.
Transmission
Not much progress today, but I took off the transmission tunnel cover to enable me to get at the shifter and get the 'box out of gear so that I could move the chassis.

| Tunnel cover removed |
Once the cover was off I discovered that a bolt head on the shifter locating plate was touching the fuel line on the inside of the chassis.

| The top (near side) bolt can be seen against the fuel line |
The shifter locating plate had been removed to aid installation, so it wasn't apparent that it was out of line. Now I need to move the gearbox over a little to gain some clearance. I will need to slacken off the engine mounting bolts as well as the gearbox mounting bolts to achieve this. Mustn't forget to thread lock the bolts again.
Engine
I put the spark plugs back in the engine and cleaned it up a bit (mainly the plastic plenum on the top of the engine).

The chassis with engine and gearbox in place looks brilliant, even if I do say so myself.
