    Jim ive seen a few with it done on ssc was a while ago but im sure boni's thread had it in, where to cut etc. Either that or bang a 106 dash in and jobs a good un.
    
    Put the front part of the cage in from the back and push it as close to into palce as possible and see where it hits dash. Mark and cut = easy
