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.

Just out of curiousity Simon, how will you prevent the front windows from bending outwards at high speed? Building frames on the doors?

Hi Simon,

given the car's potential, you have TOTB to aim for !
