After a little work with a ground-down holesaw and a pencil blowtorch, holes were made for a friggin' tight fit and the sides were moulded to fit within the OEM brackets. Well, you can see the result for yourself. Not perfect, unfortunately, as one of the sides has a tiny bulge, but I guess it's a good thing it's behind the console trim! So with that done, all I need to do now is wire the rest of the crap up inside, install the rotary switch for Max's boost controller (through the MoTeC) and mount the Autometer modules for the EGT and Fuel Pressure gauges in the cavities behind the kick panel. After that, pass the 00 gauge cable for the battery in the boot (trunk for you "outsiders" hehehh), put the interior back in and do the injector plugs in the engine bay. The remaining wiring won't be completed until the engine is in, so I know where each sensor will be! In the meantime, I can then fix my Sony XM-754HX amp and install the battery box in the rear and the rest is up to the exhaust guys for pipework, mounting turbo and intercooler. Not long now!!
Screw the fabricators. I did it myself. Bought some perspex as well as a chemical specifically made for fusing perspex together to make the sides as sturdy as the material itself.
