Are you using powercap/sfi box?

Don't extend the gearlinkage then

The plastic cross bar on the linkage only alters side to side throw anyway.

You need to add the width of the rear mount into the central 'C' section of your linkage.

get a slimline fan and have the mount's shorted and then you wont hav to cut the bulkhead, be easya to get the dermal out and cut the bulkhead i found that to be the easiest way to use a powercap my self.. good luck with the project

the guide i bought tells me to grind my standard gearbox mount to sit flush with my f20 , that way you dont need to do anything with the linkages ?
