Unbolted the old piece that was bolted to the front cross member and bolted up a new flat piece so my low profile jack sits flush when I lift the car up instead of getting caught in the low channel or having to use thin bit of ply. Will probably use a thin piece of rubber now so the jack doesn't scratch paint.

Also started mounting gauges and refitting digital dash. I got an ATL fuel gauge when i bought my fuel cell so I'm going to use it, as the digital dash does have a fuel input but its as a percentage. The second gauge will am going be a vdo boost gauge with vacuum reading. These photos are from mock up ill take some new ones of it finished when I'm at the factory.

Got my rebuilt gearbox this week all ready to be painted this weekend.
Ordered all new bushing for front of car from Wilkins motorsport as my old Noltec ones have perished with out even being used. Also ordered some camber plates from Stewart and gave him my front struts so he can put new rubber bump stops as they were also ****.
Thanks Tim
