Hi Jamie182, I have the top of a plastic set but not the centre 'big' section. Probably wouldn't hurt to have it fitted to save crap getting in there. Also could do with a rocker cover to oil filler tube breather pipe (or at least the top half of a good one to cut and fit on the rocker cover end as mine's split) and a fuel filter inlet pipe and fitting, the hole on the fuel filter on the lower right if you look at the engine as fitted in a 306. Happy to pay money and postage don't want all that for free! All little random bits that are needed.
Ran into a clutch problem - was reliably informed by the internet a ford galaxy clutch plate would be correct spline and size for the Hdi pressure plate and box. Bought one. Turns out that although it 'fits' that when you tighten the pressure plate the fingers end up touching the end of the centre splined fitting!! So that'll be going back.
So went for Plan B - Clutch Specialists Dual Friction Clutch, made to order. Organic material on flywheel side, paddle style kevlar on gearbox side. Rated for up to 40% power increas from standard and not as bitey as a full paddle clutch. Looks bloody good, and turned up within 24hrs! Previous phone calls to C/Spec didn't go very well but this time managed to talk to someone who asked all the right questions so I was happy to order.
Cut down the RH pilot engine mount as it didn't allow for the turbo oil feed. B@stard to cut as its all at crazy angles and about 8mm thick. But done and both mounts on, pilot sump on, and Xantia inlet on for future FMIC fitting.
Everything has been stacked in a corner for the moment till I can get some time on the Jimny!
