I was aware of some required modification to the gearbox mount and possibly the crossmember. Also the need to relieve some areas of the tunnel cover, I was just hoping the area around the handbrake mounting was not affected.

Having now read the Jensen forum experience, I have not heard a single negative comment (although the Jensen seems more work).The significant improvement to the drivability of the car seems to weigh in its favor. I think I will bite the bullet and order the parts.

In regard the self leveling suspension, I too have decommissioned mine. I have just about completed reassembling my rear suspension, and will then write up some articles on mods to the self leveling unit, adjustment of the torsion bars and rear brakes, etc.
