Thanks 
all that tinkering slows down total progress but hey ; " my Fiero is my sketchbook "
Still fighting how to use these...it always gets complicated 
So went to testfit the dogbones
At the top right of the pic below I turned a teflon spacer to mount the bar to the trunk for extra support..I consider a second one close to the left side mount..as most of this setup is selfmade and I cant trust everything I make... 
The right dogbone setup first needs some clearance work on the aluminium (ex) heater passage next to the head..
The block still needs to be lowered a little at the right side to sit perfectly level, by slotting the enginemount some more..but since the dogbones are adjustable that shouldnt be a problem for the final setup..

I want to use some mesh and led backlight to fill the space between the 2 bars...after some thinking I came up with a simple small aluminium U profile; mounted to the upper bar, mesh mounted to the profile and leds in the profile...pix will explain better
using the drilled profile as a soldering jig, leds are upside down
shrinkwrap
Most leds are around 2V and to keep it simple I usually put 6 or 7 leds in series to run on 12V so no resistors or other scary stuff is needed...heres a mockup of the effect of the mounted leds on the mesh..
The effect is pretty cool, changing in size when you move angle
looks a little like a tube amplifier I guess
But these red leds are not strong enough..I like subtle but it needs to be pretty dark to see them...will have to get some brighter leds ! The blue switch leds blow them away..

I want to make everything to work together, put a mockup together (again ) The 3800 logo needs to line up with the lcd (and needs tweaking)...just to get you the idea where I am heading at..

No, but it is angled upwards a little already with this setup...maybe hard to see on these pix..but more would be too obvious.. and the screen is pretty good to see at angles so I just hope it works well enough this way..
