Because I have no reference point to locate the rear sprocket within the rear mounting, no side plates and no different carriers to guide me. Have spoken to Paul at SVE and he has promised to send me the side plates along with the master cylinders and seat cushions but this will take some time I'm sure. It would be a huge help if you could take some close ups with a ruler in them to help me figure the final position.

So you think the extra bracing would foul the engine fitment, is that why you are not going to position them where Stuart has suggested?

Yes mate the motor goes in from underneath only.
My sump has a lug in each corner, SBD the manufacturer suggests bolting it direct to the floor for extra bracing so could do that if I feel the need.

The diff center is center of the plates. When mounted, the plates sit tall side up which should be more or less the height of your diff mounting brackets on the chassis. You should have holes already drilled in the mounts. You could measure the mounting holes to get the centre line for the diff if they're actually there. Any more measurements you need just shout

Here's a couple of busa chassis The top pic is of my exobusa chassis The second is a picture of the prototype mevabusa that stuart created. If you look closely there's extra triangulation in mine, have a look at yours to see if you have the extra bits.

Can't tell on my phone screen but I guess this must be after rtr have cut out the lower diagonal braces ?

All I can see is the brace by the lower front wishbone pickup. On the top pic it's at a 45 degree upward and forward angle from the rear of the pickup. On the bottom pick it's vertical from the front of the pickup.
There is also a brace going up and rearward from the top of the brace that I've described, this is only in the top pic.

How original is that one of Stuarts? It does not have the braces he suggested it should have.
Was that taken at RTR?

Just got home tonight and had look at my chassis and there is definately more bracing in it compared to the pic of Stuarts original, looks exactly the same as Slugshot's frame. It would appear that the only brace missing is the ones under the engine as per Stuarts original suggestion.

My chassis does have the extra braces like yours, its a bit hard to see but yep they're there. The prototype has less bracing on the main chassis rails, also no signs of any welded on cross braces or the ones stuart added to my pic.

I'm definately going to try and add the additional bracing to the floor section per Stuarts advice once I can get the ZX12 located within the chassis , which of course relies on SVE and Westgarage getting me the missing parts that is!
