Don't know if you can buy the bell housing ready to fit TBH. Mine came with the box kit, it's had parts welded to it and spaced where neccessary.
Look forward to chatting to you too mate, must becoming up to three years since you came over to the stand at 'Combe, how time flies.....

There is not a certain remedy short of changeing the Cossie hubs at huge Power levels.
We had shafts made that wont twist or snap in the middle but the weak point is then at the splines in the hub, it breaks there. At 600ft/lb im sure shafts similar to mine will be just fine. At Totb we were running 750ft/lb on the gas.

Not yet mate, still sorting the transmission. Have to get the pedal box out for mods to make the hydraulic clutch work, once the master cylinder is fitted we can look at re-fitting the exhaust manifold then the turbo will go on. The turbo's now affectionately known as 'Gary' after the snail in 'Sponge Bob Square Pants' lol, Mandy's pet name for it as it's been living on one of the work tops in the kitchen since Christmas

Thanks Rod, I don't think mine will hit 600ft/lb TBH, Mark may say different, we saw just under 580 torques on the GT35 on 109 so it could get close to 600ft/lb I guess. This will just leave the diff as the final part of the 'jig saw'. That will come in time, as and when funds are available....

Been working on the underside of the car today, lots of cleaning needed as a result of salt damage from it's outing to Sheadys January last year (to establish the cause of the power loss). Won't be running again any time soon, was hoping to carry on with the transmission install but John was doing other shit and parts needed to do so haven't arrived yet so won't be at Combe Saturday 
At least I can carry on with the long job of tidying up the underside. Didn't take any pics as nothing to show really. Have ordered a set of body kit clips from Stu, looking forward to fitting these when they arrive.
Will keep you posted

Hopefully running again in the next four weeks, so much to do to make her presentable again after the salt damage. Will deffo be at Castle Combe for the RS day in July, then me and Rod will be looking at organising a day at Brunters for our joint swansong, last top speed outing for both of us (I've bought a private plate specially for the event). Expensive and tedious work chasing numbers, both becomming tired of it, more important things in life TBH. But there's unfinished business for us both so will be doing a final run

Quick update, the gear box is in, hydraulic clutch kit fitted and operating as it should, gear stick relocater made and fitted, prob fabricated and fitted, just have to re-position the centre console, bandage and re-fit the exhaust down pipe, re-fit exhaust manifold and turbo, make a heat shield, then off to Sheady's to set fuelling etc, then on to the rollers we'll see what the Borg Warner S300SX FMW turbo makes on an MAD specced YB
