Engine mounts and start on pedal and seat position

Engine and bellhousing positions have been roughly set - would have been nice for the engine to sit a little further back and a little lower but this seems to be the best compromise for footwell packaging and sump longevity.

Note the ~12 degree lean of the 1ZZ as a result of the OEM sump/pickup design.

The 1ZZ has no provision for engine mounts when used in a north south position, so after much consideration I settled on the design below which attempts to spread the load over a number of different bolt mounting bosses on different planes.


I also made a start on fixing the seat mount position relative to the pedal position.

Seats are Whitepointer ADR compliant seats covered in marine grade vinyl running on MX5 rails.

Pedal box is a modified Arrow assembly.
