Not very, but that depends on what has been modified to fit the 5K and box. If you have fab skills it should be very straight forward. Pete |

The only drama I can foresee is the engine mounts depending on whether yours was a one litre or 1.3 to start with or if they were modded for the 5K. If the mounts are original (unmodded) 1.3's then it should all bolt in with the adaptor kit. BenT's kit is cheap but the Petroworks version is much better IMHO it also includes unbreakable engine mounts. |
