Well the van's engine is finally built. Just got to go pick it up from BENROSS HQ along with the camera and a couple of build pics.

Looking good guys! one thing, there dosen't look to be much travel left in the slave cylinder, might be an idea to stick a bend in the arm. Ta Joe and Brett The clutch isn't adjusted yet, the bolt in the wok is holding the arm right out. Still quite a bit to do beofre the engine goes in... Edited by apbellamy on 18th Nov, 2009.

It's a shame the elbow is only going on a standard metro downpipe really.

Yeah Steve really went to town on matching the manifolds to the head and the elbow to my downpipe so possibly food for thought for banana counting etc etc.
