Tomorrows jobs hopefully fit the abs pump and the hydraulic clutch system

R5FORD · 20-03-2010, 12:21 PM

Hi Guys,

Done a lil more work over the last few days..

Got my cross member, anti rollbar, gearbox mount powder coated

Mounted my engine to the cross member

Also had enough time today to mount my Quaife gearbox to the engine

Only issue was that I have a hydraulic clutch and i need to do a slight mod to the gearbox to get the cylinder to sit properly.. Gearbox will be mounted to the Engine tomorrow

RONNIE AMIS · 20-03-2010, 12:33 PM

stunning mate,

best of luck with it
