That's coming along a treat - liking the boot floor idea after my second hardboard one has rotted due to leaking spoiler/lights

Are you ftting the hydraulic bearing on the clutch? I have the tripple plate carbonetic one and at 1st I thought it was a nightmare but now I'm used to it I couldn't care less.

I did try the clutch on the banana and the feel is really light as compared to ine as that has the hydraulic bearing fitted but it still wasn't £800 lighter

No hydraulic required. Was using it on the road and track previously.

Daily driver has an twin plate.
