Arrr crap need to place another order. I was planning on just reusing the crown wheel bolts. Except the bolts in there were not crown wheel bolts. Just standard grade 5 machine screws.

 

may as well pick up some other bits to play with.

 

oh does anyone know the torque setting for the crown wheel bolts? found it 60lbs

got another job done that i have been putting off till i could see a good way to mount it as it would go through two body parts and could be a pain to access to remove.

 

its the yellow thing.

 

i hope it is on the right side of the racket to still allow it to be used.

Hi Nicklouse,

 

One lesson I learnt from my first gearbox build is that you should always trial fit the oil pick up pipe before anything less. I wasn't so far into the build as you are when recognising though .

Today was a lot of driving. One full tank of fuels worth.

 

engine parts dropped off for machining. And then a visit to a place I wish I had been to before. Used and new parts everywhere.

 

came away with some gaskets and a new windscreen.
