after doing all that did ya cut out the tranny tunnel

me?
yeah when i put the L series in there i got over the stock tunnel real quick and replaced it with something that had a bit more room, and the L series crossmember has the same notch and lots of sump work to get it sitting where it is

CA was alot easier as you cant really do anything to the sump coz of the crank girdle, but i had to take the small hump out of the CA sump so it cleared that crossmember anyway

and i'll have to do more tunnel work when i go to an SR gearbox anyway as im currently using a stumpy box and its ####

Curious. Has anyone notched out the cross member and got it through Engineering ?

i spoke to an engineer here in melb and he was happy for the cut out to be done

he wanted 3mm plate welded to the front and back for bracing, but was happty to engineer it like that

he wanted the ends of the bracing plate cut in an eliptical shape, a bit hard to explain but if you speak to an engineer they should be ok with it

does the maddat x member come with anythng to say that it is up to scratch

Yes it does it says that on there website comes engineer certified or some crap like that but that doesnt mean that the car is engineered. Everything comes at a cost
