i mucked it up a little i went by the measurements in the manual marked it all out was happy with the position and away i went and was really pleased with the result till it dawned on me i didnt have to make the hole as big as the book says as i dont have a clutch pedal or master cylinder going there.

i can fix it by folding up a bit of alloy and filling that section back in and will work out the measurements to send to pace so they can add a section in the build manual as to what size needs to be cut if the car is going to be auto. and maybe they can make the box where the cylinders go thru in a auto version with only 2 holes set up rather than supplying one with 3 holes that needs to be modified it's no biggie and everything ive done so far has gone pretty smoothly .

printing the manual off and putting the pages in plastic sleeves and into a couple of ring binders has helped a fair bit and so has pictures on the site here that other people have posted from there builds i usually save those pics and print them off as well and chuck them into the folder as well as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
hoping to put a few hours into the car today finish of the pedals and start with the brake lines .

cheers dean
