I discovered one or two issues with the pedals as both the
brake and clutch pedals are fitted in a very tight space so have had to 
Slightly modify the brake pivot pin. The toe boards may need some minor modification too.

To get access I removed both flitch plates and will refinish them
with the Nyalic before refitting.

With the flitches off Neil and I dropped the engine and gearbox in.
So can set up the handbrake for the first time, plus having a go at
Aligning the exhaust down pipe which came with car. It’s a pity the near
Side of the “hoop” wasn’t relieved like the offside( for the draglink)
So the pipe will need to dip under the hoop and come back up to meet the
silencer. Slightly concerned about how much travel there is on the radius arm
under maximum spring deflection on the near side?

I’ve installed a silencer between the crossmembers and now need to slightly
Extend the down pipe and put some small bends in it , so have bought
Some sand and will see if it can be bent manually with a former, or perhaps
With a hydraulic pipe bender which a mate has. It’s a 35mm pipe and may make the tail pipe out of it as well, larger than normal , we’ll see....
