Just a note, didn't bother with the glove compartment as it was next to useless anyway and therefore to give me the space required for the battery on the bulkhea

Here's the upgraded version

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like a great solution. And looks cool as well :-)
Now I have seen it I would like to do something similar. The only "problem" being my car has the B series lump so I guess the gearbox is a little different? Anyone?

Cheers, Robin

Gearboxes are interchangeable between models, except for a different input shaft and layshaft between 1.3-litre and 1.8/1.7 units. So should be the same casing.

Just to confirm the only differences between the two gearboxes was the larger splines on the input shaft.
