Not of the top of my head mate no, measure the depth of the thread and get bolts just shorter, you don't want them bottoming out, don't forget the thickness of the mount..

Well she's all painted, looking fresh and ready to be collected 
First up was the cage, so all wrapped up like a big present..

Painted in brilliant white and de masked 




Then it was all masked up again and the black was applied..











And engine bay..


Mega chuffed with it all, he's done a real nice job of it, am picking it up tomoz and plan to spend all day Sunday getting bits back on the car.
Also got another set of comps a few weeks back, which I'm debating painting a lairy colour and throwing some full slicks on.

Well as planned, managed to spend a good few hours on the car today, not all day as I didn't get in from a stag do until 5 this morning, so had a bit of a lay in, was on it from 1-6 today though and got the following done..
Painted rack back on using nice new shiny nuts and washers..

Got the car loom run in the bay, just need some large p clips to finish


Then made up a brake pedal return, ordered up a land rover return spring, drilled a few holes and hey presto..

Seems to work very well, so happy with that.
Then fitted the pedal box..

Got the headlight, air duct, oil cooler and rad back..

Fitted 1 of the engine mounts I had coated

Got some floor pan gromets from Vauxhall a little while ago, so fitted all 15 of them..
Part number for if anyone needs



Removed carbon front door cards and cut out the crash bars fitted to them for extra lightness


Fitted the rear quarter carbon panels..


Still need to fit front cards, but ran out of black pop rivets so will grab some more this week.
Also got the dash cut up and test fitted..



Really enjoyed getting these bits done, should hopefully have a day this week to get some more done
