I've already had an alloy throtle pedal made for it.

Today's update; the engine and gearbox are now bolted into the car, although not plumbed in/wired up just yet.

Proof that the engine is back where it belongs;

Hi Keith.

Well, they are off a race bike (a BMW S1000), but there's more to them than just a brake line.......

are those funky things some sort of handbrake cylinder?

Was great seeing this in the flesh, Colin. I bet it was a bit hair raising putting the engine back in a freshly painted bay? lol

Those brake lines look like they have some pressure reducing valves or something in them?

I've got some new eccentric top mounts to go on as well to smarten things up.

For a later development I'm looking to replace the pedal box, the one that's in there works well but is quite heavy, and I'm tempted by this one;

At 1.8kg (without cylinders) it's exceptionally lightweight.

That's who my throttle bodies and dry sump tank came off.

Car is looking good now, not long to go !
