Wheels
I took delivery of my wheels and tires just before Xmas. Birkin have set up the car to have wheel nuts on the front hubs and bolts on the back. The holes in the wheels were just a little tight for a standard 17mm spanner and I wanted security anyway...Autobarn had keyed SAAS wheel nuts to suit and after a couple of days I found Keith 4 Wheels had hex socket wheel bolts.
Starter motor
Fitted the gear box to the engine only to find the starter motor didn't fit due to the web on the front of the Raceline sump. I burred the web back a bit, made sure the starter would fit and tried again. All good!
Flywheel, Shyster, Clutch, Clutch plate and Gearbox
I used a flat blade screwdriver on a bolt I temporarily stuck in the bellhousing-engine matching plate to hold the flywheel while I torqued the bolts for the flywheel and then the clutch cover plate.
As I had the engine on the bench I centred the clutch by eye and feel; gearbox went on reasonably easily.
Engine, flywheel, clutch, clutch cover plate and gearbox all assembled; ready to drop into the car.
