Ok when fitting engine plate/gearbox adapter, something that I should have noticed but didn't even look at it twice is when the plate is on the dummy block without the head the plate sits half way up the head, and the head is about 15mm proud of the block So back on the mill the plate goes.

















That was my Friday

Thanks for that Fehibie, Matty the dash comes with the insert for gage part of it also, the other thing is you have to cut out for vents.

All metal can stay if you like remove heater controls vents ext and then cut and put back what you like, carbon dash fits pretty good I dummy fitted mine and seems fine with metal dash behind it

Well a little to report lately, my friend George Sardelis (Steelo) finished building the gear box so another dummy fit to engine for input shaft length measurement check.

How about this for metal removal for weight saving
