The axle pinion (Salisbury/Jaguar IRS) is offset 1” to the right of the chassis ccentreline. In a RHD car if I offset the motor the full inch, the motor encroaches too much into the footwells. So setting it 1/2” is the best compromise as I cannot do anything about the vertical offset as that’s governed by the engine clearance. I’d like to mount the engine central, but that makes the driveshaft nearly 10 degrees which is too much.
