Anyone near Guildford in Surrey who would be willing to let me take a few engine compartment measurements?
In total rebuild at the moment with chassis separated from body and trying to sort all the plumbing - hydraulic lines etc but it is difficult to specify some pipes as I need dimensions of the assemble car!

I'm near Pulborough. According to Google maps 26 miles from Guildford. You're welcome to come and measure my engine bay if suits you.

Yes Rohan and I drove further when I was working but a wife in a wheelchair at the moment which means it's pushing it to be away longer than an hour!
