nice as always Ryan, who does your powder coating? Steve (sooty) has my brat pickup for some blasting at the moment.

So I cleaned up the wiring/sensors today and fitted them back onto the box along with the brackets I painted matt black.
Once I had it out of the booth I then fitted the scoobyclinic TRS gearbox mount followed by the cross member which I installed with kartboy poly bushes and as a cheery on top I also have the kartboy rear steady bush which should accompany the AS performance linkage bush upgrade perfectly and give a Winchester rifle feel to the gear selection with no movement at all pretty much

Looking good, it's all coming together very nicely indeed.
I thought Baz was telling porkies earlier when he said you'd gone home to get your camera.

Thanks though mate,there's nothing worse than doing things in a rushed unplanned attack and then after its done thinking 'I wish I had done this/that' or just looking at it thinking it looks ****.

So I got hold of some very low mileage BC coil overs which I am very happy with as all I need to do to make A1 is have the springs powder coated[they don't really need it but I may as well to take care of the few small peeling area's as it will only get worse]
Also as I have done the delete of water passing through my throttle body I couldn't just leave the pipe work on the T/B so I started cutting it away to make it a proper delete,still needs a bit of work to get it ready for paint but you'll get the idea plus I also had the 3 little holes welded over which I will smooth better before paint.
It's grease on top of the rear top hats
Oh and the BC's also have the rear extenders!

The engine mounts are as good as you can get without solid mounting the engine, which you probably wouldnt want to do in a road car anyway.
I sold Ryan the gearbox mount which is part of the scoobyclinic TR branded kit. These were the ones recommended to me and used in the Banana. I didnt need the gearbox mount as I have one of Steven Darley's tubular gearbox cradles hence reason for selling it. Link below shown at the bottom of the page.
