    What type of spigot are you looking for Ian? Just a metal ring to sit inside the spacer? The ones I got for my V6 brake conversions were just two metal 5mm thick rings 56.5-70mm to locate the disc onto the hub centrally. Might be worth looking at some of them if its for the spacer.

    Yeah something like that would be perfect, and at 5mm would not protrude beyond the spacer. Where'd you get those from, Venom?

    No I just had a friend of a friend knock some up for a tenner but he's just had a kid last week so isn't taking on any more foreigners. Any engineering place could knock some up i'd have thought. LMF supply them as part of the V6 kits but I'm not sure if they could/would just sell them to you, might be worth giving them a call.

    Didn't go in the end, the MIG crew pulled out for some reason, ended up picking up two Cesaros and blasting around the Peak District for the afternoon.

    Fitted up my new shallow gearbox drain plug so it doesn't hang down too far now. Also sealered the frick out of the diff plate only to find its the driveshaft seal leaking so thats now been replaced.



    Fitted a new sump gasket. Had the manifold off, been catching a couple of things!



    Leaking down the drivers side, and was dripping off the oil cooler lines etc:



    Stripped a thread in the oil pump pickup so that got drilled, tapped and helicoiled with a nice new M6 thread:



    Ended up fitting the sump gasket twice actually as the first one scrubbed on the baffle plate in the following place and caused one hell of a racket. So I recommend anyone fitting one tickles this down slightly, especially with ARP bolts:



    So it's now got a second hand sump gasket on it thanks to Nova Ian for the donation

    Sick of reading the discussions (arguments ) about front anti roll bars so it's time to do some testing of my own!



    Pulled forward a little bit due to manifold clearance but it does clear:




    I'm at Cadwell Park this Wednesday (30th May) so fingers crossed all goes OK.

    It's a high temperature silicone/copper gasket maker that I think makes nice exhaust sealant: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...Id_255217#tab1
