Apparently she fits. Very tight but she fits without any hammer action on a 240.
Does the exhaust fit up alongside or do you have to drop below?

Great work guys, going to be very interesting to see how it all comes together and works in the running car. Are you going to have to do build a custom locator for the shift assembly or will the stock assembly line up close enough?
Good call on the oval pipe too, something that i'm thinking of doing if ground clearance gets a bit touch and go.
Looking really smart that. Funnily enough that T7 aircon/heater matrix is exactly what i’ve got planned for my car!
What are you planning for the rest of the AC kit? Hoping to use the RB standard AC pump?
...................There is a small gap between the crossmember and the tension strut mount brace. I'm going to need notch the crossmember holes slightly to bring it back 4-5mm. I didn't want to just tighten all the bolts and pull everything out of shape...........................
I have decided that I'm going to fit aircon to the car now. Probably going to be using this T7 Designs one. https://www.t7design.co.uk/3-2kw-compact-air-conditioning-heater-unit-55mm-12v.html..........
You could just insert a washer/spacer instead of slotting holes?
I'm using a T7 heater. Thought about a/c but decided against the complexity and size. Also that is quite a high power consumption 135w.
............I had concidered using a spacer to take up the gap but it seems like a half arsed fix. I'll do some more time staring at it today and see if I can see a better solution.
Thank you.
It's ok, in my mind a spacer is less half-arsed than slotting holes in a new expensive crossmember.
No offence taken, it made me laugh.
Wow what great work, just read through all of the pages. I will be following your progress with interest, especially on the RB front, as I have the same engine, and will also be running a Haltech.
Sorry for the late reply - only just seen your previous post for some reason :-(
Probably not what you want to hear but, mine are 485 mm both sides. If you want any other measurements just ask.

Phil that's great. Thank you for taking the time to take some measurements. Yours being 485mm is exactly what I wanted to hear. I've used a die grinder to elongate the holes so I'm 485mm on both sides now. Everything fits well now.
