I know, your part number was really helpful in cross referencing that I was getting the right spline pattern though:thumb:Quote:

oh and just to add my flywheel didnt last to long with a paddle clutch, munched it to pieces within about a year. just a heads up.
looks very nice dar should be a lot stronger now
i now use it everyday to work and back in stop/start traffic and its no problem at all!:)Quote:

Nothing major, just a little tidy up on the wires, a little paint to some areas and a bit more welding.

Then I put it back together again. With a quickrack.

Thats how its been sat until I got the new clutch and the bolts that arrived yesterday via Chris post. So whilst the big man was there we fitted the clutch.

I had a few hours to spare this evening so I thought I would put the engine back in.
Up she goes.

I also found that one of my CV gaters was broken. However this was put on new at the start of this year. So I took of the drive shaft and found that the circlip holding the shaft in had snapped. I am guessing that the missing part made it's way out to the big wide world and made the hole on the way.
So my car continues to break odd bits.
good work? why have you cut the front crossmember out?
Better mounting point for the front splitter. Still not decided exactly how to mount it but this gives me a much better platform to work to.Quote:
