Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

Nah you won't have mate, maybe just the way it is...There's all different kinds of cavity wax like but just generalised as 'Waxoil'

Following on from the last picture, I have now chopped and soldered my loom to the new front half (the engine bay side of another Nova loom). Looks quite professional IMO lol

Also a trip to Vehicle Wiring Products to get my battery relocation stuff, just need a battery tray now:

Looking at getting an alloy aftermarket one, thanks anyway.

Dude just looking back at the pics of it after it came back from spray, looks ace, very nice Finnish in the pics, one thing though, what with the front wings being cut off at the bottoms??

Off the stand and on with the flywheel with ARP bolts (torqued using SBD's instructions, loctite on the threads and graphite grease under the heads):

Clutch lined up by eye and cover plate on lined up with the markings on the flyhweel (piston 1 & 4 at TDC) so it all balances up:
