I have asked this question in my local area and was advised by one of your members to ask it over here.
I am not building a car from scratch but I do admire what you guys are doing and find myself checking out your galleries often. Anyway here goes.

I dont know what the part is actually called but I have a question regarding the 2 tubes/braces that run from the transmission tunnel behind the dash and to the body work under windscreen.

Question 1 = What is the diameter of this tube?
Question 2 = How far is the gap between the dash panel (at bottom) and the tube?

Thanks in advance.
