I got the passenger side in after the kick , the gearbox fitted perfectly after the engine came into line .
The driveshaft went in easier than it's removal with new centre bearing .
2 problems I had ,the 3/8 unf bolts (to diff) were too long (new ones ordered) I used the ones I had just to hold it in position .
and the motor mounts from skandix were the wrong type (straight bolt like Alans' ) ,I had a spare of the correct type (offset bolt) and one on order.
Strange thing , every nut and bolt is usually metric on European cars, yet brake pipes are BSP , Drive shaft bolts are UNF and wheel nuts are UNF.
What's that all about ??
