only just seen this,class fab work there mate,the 2wd manifold should fit ok in there.i had to reshape it alittle where the spacer plate goes on the inner wing but nothing you lads cant sort out tbh.i had a gt35 on 2wd manifold in my orange mk1.atlas and gripper defo the way to go as well.if youve not sourced an axle yet give fostek a call they are the bollocks for these axles mate.all the best with it and keep at it
