had a couple of hours on it today:
re-fitted the elbow and throttle body to discover my first problem,as you can see it fouled the map sensor bracket,simple solution was to re-drill new hole further up the bracket.

second problem,the throttle body had been modified before so the new throttle cable is too short,does anyone have any ideas which cable whould be more suitable.

on a good note I got one of the water return hoses done.
