Yeah as the big man says. It's one of the short AP jobies. We also put one on Rod Tarry's car to great effect.

Rhys,

Nah car isn't progressing that quickly at the moment. I pretty much have everything I need to start putting it back together now though. Am hoping my engine will be together and ready to go in in a month or so. I have the transmission sorted. Brom has to finish off my beam and do some work on my remote ARB mounts front and rear. Then the work begins bolting it all back together.

Steve,

I'm working away at the moment and will will not be back from San Francisco until next week, so no I wont see it go. All my best to the man though!!

Brom,

I may have a suprise for you matey, by complete fluke got chatting to just the write bloke. I'm waiting on a call back from him either today or Monday.

yeah its about a .50

The clutch in Rods and Broms feels mint. and gives a good level of feel. Well as good amount of feel you could ever get from a twin plate sintered 7.25" race clutch.

What pedal box do you use Mark? It looks like a Willwood one in your sig???

Sean..
