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!?
