Its the auto flywheel that needs to come off and become a frisbee. Ive got a 2.8 Capri flywheel to replace it.
Getting excited about fitting it again now. Cant wait to start wiring it up, though ive got some tidying up to do first.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

More progress today.
Been out there in the sunshine;
started with a jetwash of the engine and gearbox
Cleaned the engine bay some more
Sorted out the wiring and removed the old engine loom
Test mounted the gearbox to the engine
MEasured and realised that i need two smaller fuel tanks rather than the one large one!
Cleaned the fuel rail, and painted the iron block red to see any leaks easier
Test Fitted the fywheel and then the gearbox over it. Turned over by hand to check for clearances.
Just need those engine adapter plates now, so that i can see how thick i need the final one to be! 
All in all, a good day.
 
With gearbox on
Kindest Regards,
Richard.
