End float was finally set and the build can continue. The flywheel, clutch and pressure plate were fitted and the engine could be fitted to the gearbox. I’m having a few clearance problems with the air-cleaners but a set of lower filters should solve that. I will start bending coolant pipes during the week and hopefully I can order the mild steel pipes I need to modify the exhaust system, yet more clearance problems there.

Stay tuned…
