Looking good Malcolm, but I think you could get a LOT more strength into the middle by closing off the hole infront of the trans...

Rich the hole in front of the trans is forthe shifter rod & coupling if you have a look at the earlier pics youwould see that plate goes right across the tunnel.
I,m going to modify the orignal pan and use this one as a test bed.

Another thought... I wonder if you could make the front trans mount structural? That would keep it removable, just have to think of a way of getting some rubber back in there..
