Well I made the first two pipes for the inlet and the slash cut required increases the width far more than I anticipated and leaves next to no space for welding. 

I could sort it out with lots of time but I do believe it will actually be less work to tilt the engine and go with standard inlet.
So I've started to make some of the parts. I made up a lower arm to weld in this position, then I can cut away the one that wIll foul the engine in the new position.

...and then started on the plates required to move this mount.

I had an afternoon at the workshop today for the first time in months.
I put some new ball joints on my mini hubs.
I got my new lower arm tacked in and cut a slot in the old one ready to tip the engine forward.

I have cut off the front of the engine mount ready for its be position too.

I just need another afternoon up there for more progress...
