Also agree on the ARB, put one side on and use a ratchet strap to get the other in.
I am going to weld the bolts in place, might weld the support plate to the bulkhead as well for extra support.
Master cylinder is a Girling one and I'm hoping good old English workmanship will stop leaks
One area of concern is the throw out bearing, instructions were a bit dodgy so I Googled the Mcleod part number and found loads of people complaining of leaks
I will 'phone Real Steel in the week and make sure they have sold a few without complaint. It's a real bitch to change if fluid starts to leak and the engine and box have to come out to get to it!
