Clutch Lever

Been checking all round the engine for clearance issues over the piece and there are two issues to deal with. One being the alternator, which, if I use the original FIAT item, will foul the steering column. More on that later, but definitely not insurmountable. Second is the clutch lever . This protrudes quite a bit from the bell housing and would foul the chassis vertical section at the inboard front corner of the passenger footwell. So it has been cut out, you can see the mock up clutch lever in cardboard to indicate the issue. This photo shows the new position, after a new piece is welded in. Shouldn't affect anything structurally.

So some panel modification will be required, but nothing that will cause a problem.
