Project 2456- Matthew Nickels, Lisburn, NI

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.

What u doing Tues/Wed/Fri or Sun?

[mnickels]

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.
