Always a good feeling ain't it? 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Nice work - very neat installation.

Revs very nice!!
Like the misses said first time I started the engine, "If it ain't got a pedal, I am not going to drive it!".
How about your ground clearance?

Got a similar set-up. Works perfectly.
I only used a dry sump for more ground clearance.

Tnx, it was not entirely my doing! I had lots of help!
We used a MT75 and a "custom made shift stick", it was a tight fit.
Due to the gearratio's we installed a 3.38 diff instead of the standard 3.96.
Also used a race clutch with cable,
The cable did not last 200 miles, so we changed this for a hydraulic one like the one on the pic.
I have done approx 1.000 miles and it is still running, so....
