John, In 2 weeks we are going to QLD for a holiday, and the day after I get back we start the footy, so fairly well stuffed for a while.

Aaron. Thanks for the comments, I got the Gilmer kit from Burtons in the UK.

I was thinking that myself Chris. Now the engine is in I can see I have space probs for a bigger can.My wife has made me polish the Radiator top tank. She said the brushed look spoiled it. So "she who must be obeyed got her way"
Would be good to have another visit Chris.

Mud, thanks for your kind comments

You know my preference is not for MK1's but that engine bay is causing the front of my pants to stick out just a little further than normal ..

Just a bit of an update, Not a lot has happened for a while, but have still been buying a few nice parts,
Today I made up an instrument panel. Gdub kindly gave me the blank panel and today I cut out the gauge holes,and fitted the battery isolater switch and the Start button panel.
Also purchased a Hi-torque starter motor, 5 speed T9 Sierra Gearbox with quickshift. Bias adjustable pedal box and hydraulic co axial clutch.
Also purchased a full Cosworth YB motor including Turbo.
Will resize some Pics and post them.

That mastercylinder was out of a Gemini. I have since scrapped it because I didn't have enough clearance with the Ashleys, I felt they would boil the fluid in the cylinder so I have removed it and fitted a Pedalbox, which I am happier with anyway.

Having trouble resizing the pics. Will post them as soon as I get sorted
