Re: Merlin's 4G Track Lude
Finally the LSD bolts are in the UK
After a load of moaning to them the UK distributor is going to ship them direct to my gearbox builder instead of to me. So hopefully next Friday I will be picking up the completed gearbox
After that the only hurdle left (other than putting all the bits back in the car) is to send the sump off to PAW to be baffled. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it has only taken 9 months since I bought the engine
