Thanks Dave, that helps a lot. I have built two Downs 32s, a roadster and a 5 window, and have been pleased with them. I did purchase both cars with recessed firewalls and the only issue I have had was that the motor mounts were too far forward on the 5 window and that was corrected with the short waterpump. What I should have done was to move the motor mounts back to where they should have been. Live and learn. Thanks again.

I had a bit of the same problem with my TCI chassis - but they were an inch plus too far back. The guy that I bought it from (Dick Spadaro) now advises customers to order a chassis with the mounts not welded in place - which would have saved me a lot of added work.

Good point! I think I will try that next time.
