Default Flywheel and clutch back on now.
Thought i'd do it all properly this time as its a rebuilt box, new paddle clutch, reskimmed flywheel (courtesy of Nick 'nthorpey', many thanks) with correct torques, etc. Anyway torqued the clutch cover up to (as it says in the manual) 20 nm but it doesn't seem that tight, i know that they aren't supposed to be that tight but it just doesn't seem that tight to me .

I was using quite a long torque wrench maybe 20nm doesn't seem that tight with the extra leverage.
