Daz, got the measurements, thanks!
Scott, yes, its always possible to fabricate brackets etc but there becomes a point when it's not fiinanicially viable, it may be OK when converting your own car as a "one off" (as I have done many times) but when trying to produce a conversion that is repeatable and as a commercial venture, it sometimes becomes imposssible!
I am still trying though, as I realise the commercial oppertunitiy that exists!
