hi, im putting a turbo and single weber box (probably minits if they have one) in my mini. the shell is a 1995. it has a single speed heater and full length rover dash.

do these boxes in the bulkhead interfere with clearence for the dash(with cd player) and heater inside the car? many thanks

Heater they do as you cut into the mountings. Top and Bottom dash rail though arent affected

Back once again like a renegade master

what i would perhaps advise is you weld an angled plate in the turbo box (engine bay side) so water does not gather there *wink* i also made the back section (ie the bit that sits next to the heater) double skinned with a bit bar a bit like double glaze so to speak, it helps prevent the bulkhead getting so hot. inside the car.

You won't be able to fit a cd player in the centre of the dash with a weber box as the box is too deep.

You could cut the bottom of the box & slope in down, its another water trap. Get some metal fill the gaps in the side afterwards.
