my car is apart for paint, can someone give me a measurement of where the exhaust cut-out should be moved to on the drivers side and passenger side for a centered MGB fuel tank and dual exhaust? Thanks,
Randy

Start by centering the tank (shifted 3" to left) and then determine your desired routing for the tailpipes and the required lower valence cutouts. Everyone probably has slightly different location but at a minimum the current left cutout will have to move about an inch to ensure the tailpipe doesn't contact the tank.
