the guide i bought tells me to grind my standard gearbox mount to sit flush with my f20 , that way you dont need to do anything with the linkages ?

get a slimline fan and have the mount's shorted and then you wont hav to cut the bulkhead, be easya to get the dermal out and cut the bulkhead i found that to be the easiest way to use a powercap my self.. good luck with the project

The plastic cross bar on the linkage only alters side to side throw anyway.

You need to add the width of the rear mount into the central 'C' section of your linkage.

should have enough clearance for that tbh, perhaps mounts arent correct?

my throttle body is touching the bulk head with no power cap this is just a bare tb and the engine wont budge to bolt up the rear engine mount so it has to be cut no choice or fit my headgasket failure x14xe

i have just started my redtop conversion on my corsa b sport
and found some problems on the way...
like the bulk head needs!!! to be cut it dont state that in the guide
and tips in how to fit the engine would be good and the gear linkage is plastic and cant be extended so guide's wrong again
how has everyone done this with easy?

could i have a picture request aswell please on the alternator and power steering pump to help me with mine and the later spec coilpack aswell :)
