no worries, i managed to modify the slave to accept a normal seal intended for the f13 box, but you need to skim the inner diameter of the slave down a bit to make it fit, be careful though as its very possible to break through the wall and thus ruin the cylinder, i skimmed the metal band on the seal down a bit too, but too much and the seal will melt

Excellent advice lee, thanks. Will take it ito work tomorrow and have a crack at it.

lee303 · 17-06-2008, 20:23

no worries

Had an afternoon tarting things up today. Finally finished my cam cover

You can hardly tell that there was an oil cap and breather there. Really happy with how it turned out.

Also polished up a couple of things, the bracket for the dis pack and the water way that bolts on the back of the head. Excuse the ****e pic, its all just too bling

Started bolting things back onto the engine too, cam cover, inlet and bodies.

Undecided on what colour to paint the block (not important i know!) Any sugestions. Obviousley the cars going to be carbon black, think the frame is going to be bright blue?

wow what a project, you must have a fapping huge budget to have all that carbon made up.

**Benn** · 21-06-2008, 07:44

Rocker cover has come up great!

how much for one? I know someone who needs one.

t45_ste · 27-07-2008, 20:49

How does £60 sound if you provide the cover? Does he want it like mine or the oil filler leaving on?
