    Ratios are in the box and the engine and box are back in the car.

    Top front mount is screwed, we've worked out that the bush is acting in the wrong plane.

    Need to spin the bush through 90 degrees, time to get the funk out.....











    Freely admit my TIGing is not the best, I probably should have MIG'd it or tacked it and got Ben to do a proper job, as it is as soon as Ben has time this will be re-made by him properly.

    But we've got the bush spun through 90 so it's acting in the same plane as the gearbox mount, also lifted the engine 2-3mm which we're hoping will move the alternator away from the chassis leg.

    More this week, 4th engine mount, changing master cylinders, prep for Snet in the middle of June.

    Got scared when I got to the workshop this morning and looked at it, reverted back to type and fired the MIG up!! Happier with that.

    Think Automotive hooked me up with a new hose while I waited



    Also they gave me the torque figures for each size of fitting so I won't make that mistake again.

    All fitted and back up and running.

    Booked onto Snetterton 25th of this month for a little shake down and test. Hopefully good weather, forecast looks ok.

    No idea if this will make a difference but it looks badass!!!

    Board is temporary, I'll add some proper buffalo board when I decide if it makes a difference or not
