Could be your problem. Does look a bit out of line.

please mate :) what setup you using ?

Standard ABF setup mate, using Mk2 lines and P/S unions though. Here's a few snaps from the garage earlier, hope it helps. If you need anymore snaps give us a shout.

Top view of alternator setup - there's probably at least a fingers worth of gap between the engine and the chassis leg but the pic makes it look a bit closer. Looks about the same as yours:

Which bit do you mean specifically chap? The other side (reservoir etc)? Read about the issues with the bracket you were having - might not be able to help there as I'm using an 020 box rather than the 02a box. Think the G60 and corrado res is up by the washer bottle - might be worth trying to source that setup if you can't get it work.

Hello mate nice project. What is the brake master cylinder from? Could do with one of those for my 20v T conversion.
