done a bit of head scratching with the actuator and these two photos -the only photos I can find of the bloody bracket, seriously on the whole of the net- and think I've figured out the bracket position and will mock one up before getting it made properly. Progress fan club

Gosh time flies when you are having fun has it really been nearly two months since I updated this

Done a few bits and pieces but still been struggling with the bracket from the clutch; just not been entirely happy with the fit\quality of the damn thing. I'm not even going to post any pics of the various versions I've 'fabricated'

So decided to make a list of things I have to compete before I can fire the thing up (there are a few more to add before I can drive it!) to try and motivate myself to crack on. The list was pretty short but I've left it at home so can't share it yet...it worked and I spent a few hours last night on t'interweb having another look for info on the damned bracket. Seems ORC have released a new catalogue and even though it's in Japanese (anyone fluent?!) page 29 shows they still make the kit shame it seems that I can't buy the bracket separately as the kit s £260 before tax and shipping

http://www.paramo.jp/view_pamph20.ph...i=technical_13

Today then I shall be mailing Nengun to get a worse case cost scenario and finding out if I have any contacts that can speak Japanese and talk to ORC directly...but at least that means I can finish it soonish (probably)

Finally

Does the clutch use a different slave to the standard clutch then?
