Oppliger short shifter finally arrived from Italy and my props came back next day from prop shaft services, big thanks to them too. So at 15:00 today I was at home and by 17:30 the box and props are in the car and I made up an adapted line for the hydraulic clutch line. I have a few jobs to do tomorrow but all going well at moment

First job was to bend up some thick steel to make the mount and then internally weld on an end piece for strength. I drilled two holes to allow me to puddle weld it on to the car.

Puddle welded on and tacked down the sides, I did a bit more to tidy it up but forgot to take a pic. When the engine comes out I will send the car to the body shop and have the engine bay fully repainted so this will be properly painted then.

I made two mounting holes hoping to use the rear as that way the 100mm cooler would sit slightly farther back from the rs500 position.
