Finally the LSD bolts are in the UK :D 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 8-) 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 :lol:
