so now I have the frame mounted to a sheet of MDF I can start to get some of the poorly placed tubes forward of the firewall removed and to make sure I don't place any of the new tubes in the wrong position I have placed the engine back in with new engine mounts the aim is to get the bottom of the sump as low as I can but without it being any lower than the bottom of the frame.
A lot of the tubes around the bottom of the engine have been removed as they did not add much strength and the frame in front of the suspension that hung the radiator and nose cone has also been removed. they will be replaced with a more simple but stronger arrangement that should be a little lighter and tidier.
