These should hopefully solve my subframe/sump clearance woes.
Then I can start messing around with radiator locations!

Question! Laser cutting places, does anybody know of any/recommend one?
Cheers!

I'm hoping there isn't going to be too much engine movement seeing as it's solid mounted, but at both ends there will be silicon elbows which should hopefully allow enough flex

I reckon SS coolant tubing will add a lot of heat (and weight) into your engine bay...

The runs aren't too long, I'll be wrapping them and they should ... "Should" be cheaper than custom full silicon hoses.
Also it give me freedom to move the rad cap and mount it else where like the one I put a link up of earlier in the thread

Picture time!!
Subframe is now on, the clearance is about 3-4mm.
The sump is around 60mm clear of the ground, I'll be buying a custom shallow/wide one eventually but for now it'll do.
40mm gap at front of bonnet so 40mm bulge needed.
