Each fastener needs a spring. I can't remember the size of the ones I bought though.

Thats what I am going to use as the main mounting point for the front splitter. I plan on having some brackets on the splitter that slide over the square bar. The reason I am changing it is because with the splitter on it's a bugger to get on and off of the trailer. So I am making it eaiser to fit and remove.

good idea.

I have next week off of work and I have also deciede what to do with the new engine. So I thought it was time to get the spare engine off of the engine stand and put the new one on.

I will (If all goes to plan) be updating this thread in the week showing whats happening to the engine :)
The billy bonus of the day was finding out that the flywheel is a lightweight steel one. Bonus!

Good stuff,will be interesting to watch you on track once you get that nice, new XE in!!!

It should be fun. It was rapid when I went out as a passenger when Chris owned the engine and I plan to make it faster.

Yep, it went fooking well when Lee took me out at Combe, and that was in standing water spinning the wheels in pretty much every gear! lol
