Excellent, hadn't thought of that. Thanks

If I do require a spacer, are these legal as I will need to get it registered?

As Brute has said a spacer should give you that little bit extra clearance but would the tyre still rub under normal driving conditions??
Will soon find out as I am picking up the engine today. It should take me a few days to get it together so perhaps by early next week, it will be in, along with the gearbox too. I certainly hope it clears.

And yes, it is getting very close now. Once the wheels went on, it really started to make a big difference. Now that the dash is in (really crap job that I was not looking forward to), things are going to move along quite quickly now.
