shaped (bent! lol) the dipstick tube to clear the breather and made a fresh bracket painted everythin and bolted to the hose clip sounds dodgy but will be fine

bought an adapter for my oil pressure sender to put inline of the oil feed line for turbo as it wont fit streight into the block cos of the breather but had to use adapters and i forgot about the oil pressure switch for light. and looked so messy so decided to make one to fit both and to look much better. may polish it.
just need to tap the ends and the correct thread for the switch, cant find them anywhere!

well got the twat of a clutch sorted! when i put the box on it was only for picture purpose 
it was sat 10mm off the box (another miss measure) lol so i had to further modify the slave cylinder base. some pics standard part welded up and 3 holes tapped for the tilton slave and the end cut off
turned the middle shim up a further 10mm and that was enough. fitted new o rings in the slave at the same time so i know it will be fine

at last the manifolds arrived from norway. just need to cut the flange off for external wastegate and bolt the tial one on and weld a bung in for egt sensor then take it with front pipe to get ceramic coated. gives you so much more room from the head than 2wd manifold or even 4x4 so im happy. placed a t35 on just for picture purposes!!
and one of the minker roll bar/compression strut setup. just need to get new rose joints for them
