Doug, here is a photo of the bottom of the manifold on the Pacemaker. Excuse the ugly wire I put on yesterday - will tidy up when on a hoist!

Wow, that is so different than the left hand drive cars!! I want to see the clutch and brake pedal linkage if you have a picture of it. I'm trying to picture how the exhaust goes down thru there?. Does the exhaust pipe go under the cross-member?, I guess it would have to?.

Doug, remember my photos are of a Pacemaker so congestion is greater than with Geoff's Hornet and the '49 he is working on.
When the Pacemaker is next on a hoist (month or so for a service) I will try and get some shots for you.

That would be great !! I guess working on right hand drive Hudson cars would naturally keep you flexible and in shape !! That is really tight.
