Cheers Geoff

I think even Roy Castle would have been proud of that amount of dedication on this one........

It feels like I am back about 6months before the end of the build at the minute with all the parts I have in the house again and cant get remapped til the end of March as the tuner is off to Oz tuning down under - alright for some eh!!...

Just cant wait to get out in it again....

After spending today drawing it up I am considerably more familiar with the new 72mm throttle body, bearings and seals should be here early in the week.

Once I get the bearings and seals I will make a decision on the use of the seals or get some spacers made up to go in there place, I dont see any reason for an oil seal on the TPS side as there is a gasket under the TPS keeping the crud out so maybe one seal used on the cable fixing side??!!?

The TPS side of the TB has thrown up a problem with my current design for the TB-SC manifold so that'll need a re-think before I get it machined which was due next week - it is alot wider than the OEM TB.......

OK so here's how its looking (minus the oil seals and fixings):

You're probably right but you cant beat professional photography for some great pictures of the car.....
