Bit of work done last night on the engine...tried fitting the clutch but I think the wrong one has been supplied. Fitted it in with the alignment tool and tightened all the bolts. Removed the tool and the clutch plate fell down. It doesn't seem to be thick enough or the wrong clutch. The flywheel has a slight indent between the face where the friction plate sits and the outer edge wherethe clutch bolts onto. Anyone know where the best place is to order a new clutch?

Did manage to fit the gearbox onto the engine and it all went together ok but just not sure if the clutch will work. Any suggestions?

Anyhow, here are some pictures of the engine taken last night:

Can't wait for this to be finished, looks like a right 90s Nova

is this more or less as your old one was back in the day? looking good tho, quite nice to see it coming together. i had wondered why there was only 1 nova sitting out there lately... had secretly hoped it would sit there long enough that it would come up for sale! better to see it used tho.

i have a full set of red roose hoses brand new for the c20xe and will only ever be needing the main water hoses, if youre interested get in touch.
