And there is your solution.? Install a full roll cage and everything will line
up perfectly.

Wot, guv'ner? You mean the TR "flexible flyer"??

I have jacked my cars up on different spots on the frame to get panels to "line
up" in the past. TR6's are pretty flimsey.?

Interesting side bar - I have a full cage in the race car now. I absolutely
dreaded trying to install the tranny tunnel owing to how tough it was to
install the tranny last year, but that was a tough job mostly because the cage
tubes pretty much fill the interior... at any rate, the frame is so stiff now
that the tranny cover literally lined up perfectly! I was shocked, shocked, I
tell you!?
