First event is Rockingham , 10th / 11th December ,
fabricated and welded up the gear linkage system , the part you see with the gear lever on slides up and down those 4 bars so you can line it up with the hole in the tunnel , you weld it up and cut off the excess bars then , I sprayed it then , photo's a bit dark sorry , it was getting late !
Looking at the new thrust bearing I had to fit the standard clutch arm , it didn't look that strong so I got an AP hydraulic one , I had to make an adapter to bring it away from the back of the bellhousing so it reaches the clutch
I had to bolt it in from behind with counter sink cap heads so it was all flush fitting and didnt interfere with the gearbox
then make up a block to bolt onto the side of the bellhousing to pipe up to and fit a bleed nippple to bleed it
The clutch I have is a twin plate AP job , this should withstand the hiding its going to get :D
You can see that I have machined down the standard flywheel quite a bit , and modified it to take the AP clutch
The gearbox was fitted in last night , so will take more pics later today with the stick in place , it feels awesome sitting in the seat playing with the stick making silly engine noises , I need to get out more
