Its in....ball ache tbh ended up taken the mount off and then my mate guide it in whilst i had heavy end. This meant the mount bolts where a nightmare to get to 1 flat at a time and stiff as id loctited them. Lost my centralising as well, will leave nipped up till engine in and then re centralise then..No room in there at all....I want rubber fingers!

Just spotted that cable doh...thats gotta run up side ....hope its moves but lunctime...
Friday running still doable. Engine build up after lunch.

Gotta shorten the prop...not enough for aft play...little kink in westory journey but come this far. I can move gearbox forward but i dont want 2....want it as far rearward as possible . Only need 10mm but still need it. Time to take prop out...lol.
if i shorten prop 30mm i can move rearward 60mm in total got some measurements todo.

gotta hit the phones for prices and fast turn around.

Good job mate. Making good progress :)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Dropped the prop off and rear flange is standard duty so its being refurbed with heavy duty flanges. Shortened and balance.... dont fancy being cut in half. Got new high tensile bolts aswell. Pretty scary as my seat is inches a way. Hopefully get back tomoz.
