Very nice looking car:)
is that the standard valve cover, or a custom one?

Yeah its just the standard one from KAD in red, there has been quite a few variations over the years though.

Ive split the pot joint, so i can get the engine and box out of the car as it stands at the moment. Ive been asked if i want to take the car to the Bingley show on the mini mag stand but its not looking promising at the moment.

Thanks for the picture simon mine looked pretty much the same as that but i didnt have any joy with it.

Well ive just got the engine out, and decided to take the flywheel housing off there seems to be quite a bit of wear in the thrust plate in the end of the clutch cover and its only done 300miles max! Would you expect it to look like this?

Im using a grey cover.

We've done that on the metro van a couple of times. Make sure your clutch adjustment is spot on and it's not binding at all.

Still looks new

Bad luck on the gearbox. Boot looks nice, the carbon works well with the colour.

How the hell did you manage that! It looks like the whole syncro has bent to the side?

At least nothing let go and took the rest of the box with it.

That's what I was thinking. You've probably bust the baulk ring.

What you need to do ideally, is take a photo further away but zoomed in if you can, it will give a much better perspective.
