Not sure. Was going to try long bolts in the bell housing so that bit all stays aligned, wedge it back until flywheel turns independently, marry them up, then secure it back together.

Thomas called tonight and we got the flywheel and torque converter mated properly without removing it, starter motor fitted and nearly wired and rear brake calipers fitted. Very productive and the mechanical end is in sight! With fluids, battery and the transmission connections/hoses sorted there is no reason why I can't try to start the engine.

Not yet Rob, need to get the fluids etc in and just missed the Halfords deadline lol. Will try at weekend as tomorrow I have to return the favour to Thomas and head down to his to get Keiths running.
