Wot, guv'ner? You mean the TR "flexible flyer"?

;-)

I have jacked my cars up on different spots on the frame to get panels to 
"line up" in the past. TR6's are pretty flimsey.

Interesting side bar - I have a full cage in the race car now. I 
absolutely dreaded trying to install the tranny tunnel owing to how tough 
it was to install the tranny last year, but that was a tough job mostly 
because the cage tubes pretty much fill the interior... at any rate, the 
frame is so stiff now that the tranny cover literally lined up perfectly! 
I was shocked, shocked, I tell you!
