Danny - thanks for clearing up the crossmember issue. I was hoping I wasn't going to have to tear apart the garage to figure out where I stashed that crossmember for the m41. A sigh of relief on my end to hear. About the brackets..... I figured that was the way the crossmember attached but was unsure from the photos.

RJ (Jack?)- Shannon has echoed your words about Eric's wealth of knowledge. He is one of the reasons that keeps me a daily lurker and not an active poster. Through the archives and the day to day topics I follow, he and handful of others (yourself included) have usually answered many of my questions... I've been following your fuel saga with much interest. How are the new carbs treating you?

I will have to look into the transmission tunnel further. It fit fine on the donor car, but looked like it could have been done a bit more conservatively. Then again, the donor car was originally fitted with an m40, whereas its going into a wagon with a tunnel designed for an automatic.
