MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Think it'll run like this?

Getting my five speed in to the car was postponed from late December until today! But once I got to work it all went in a jiffy.. Sure went easy but unfortunate I don't think she'll move anytime soon...

Still missing a few small parts, but you're making progress. Keep at it!

Can't see anything amiss... apart from the fact that you appear to have fitted the pedal box to the 'wrong' side of the car...

...I'll get my coat...

James, you just gave me a great idea!

Think i'll move the pedalbox and leave the steering rack where it is, then driving the car will be somewhat of a team sport.. my girlfriend always complains about us not doing enough stuff together anyway..

darn it Prop did you have to go there it's not that bad is it? ;)

Sounds like that bit on Top Gear where they mounted one car on top of another and the steering was up top with the throttle and brakes in the lower car. Two drivers trying to work together, it's funny.

There was an article in a performance mag here in the UK about a couple of journo nutters who put the steering wheel on the right, the pedals on the left. Then took it to a track day!!! Respect.

B Young, I haven't seen that episode although they never stop to amaze me..

Oh and if someone would be interested I ended up moving the hole for the gearstick (since I already shorted the tailhousing on the box) back a couple of cm it turned out nicely :D
