kinda quiet, anybody have updates?

A minor update on my car that would interest Tim and Jim...

I went in to the workshop late in the week to discuss a trial fit of the engine with scattershield fitted (to check clutch fork clearance, not using HTOB).
Happily, they are on the same page, so a trial fit is happening ASAP. Fingers crossed - more action soon.

Cheers!

Glen,

The trial fit is great news! Hopefully there is room to mount necessary bits for the slave cylinder setup and no or minimal modification to the transmission tunnel is needed.

I believe you are using the same or similar QuickTime bell housing that I am running. I recommend using a rubber boot on the clutch fork arm. I was not able to find a boot designed to fit the QT bell housing, so used a generic boot and made a sheetmetal clip to hold the boot in place. There may be a boot that you can find that fits properly.

You are making great progress and that first drive is so very close!!!
