cheers DH, will check out that tensioning bracket!

bit of an update:

i turned it over last night and it sounded smooth. just need to FULLY charge the battery and grab a couple more bits to finish it. need a piece of 2.5" id pipe to join the exhaust to the downpipe, if i can find some. also need a bracket for the clutch cable and a little piece for the throttle cable. but all the boost piping is sorted, and everything else seems good.

also need a new nearside front caliper cause the bleed nipple broke (couldnt be helped), and need to look at the gear linkage, as the stick seems to not select gears well, dont think its the box, but i got a spare g60 box incase.

havent been working on it since last post, will be sorting out the throttle and clutch cable, as i got the bracket now. check out the dash wiring and add oil, filter and offer up the front end, add coolant, fuel, plugs, etc.

i got a cambelt, thought it would be worth doing, but came up with that idea AFTER i put the engine in :D should be fun......

then will just need a special pipe to connect the zaust and downpipe, but thats sorted.

then go legite and get it on the road wooooohhhooooo!
