[jackjewelljj]

I thought with a cable and paddle clutch it would be heavier compared to a hydraulic?

Went to use my engine crane last year but it leaked all its oil out so managed to buy a new ram for that just got to move the mount. So the engine can go back in soon just got to change the diff and I've bought steel caged bearings for the gear box.

Also bought some wires to remake parts of the loom. Hoping to get this dash working.
