Indeed - scraping together the money for a new Lump - need to get it in for Le Mans
then I think - if I can I'll build a forged one - It'll be good for 600bhp then :)

Ha ha - no problems Aiden, I seriously doubt I'd go as far as 600bhp, but a steady 300 I'd be happy as larry
Gear box is still running lovely by the way
I didn't win the LSD - I've got other things to be saving for at the moment

switch is fitted to the box iirc, you just need to wire it to a tell tell lamp on the dash in a very unmissable place
two pin switch above and behind the bracket for the vacuum unit

I've had a few bits from scooby leicester on ebay, seem very good, machined turbo flywheel was excellent and only £50
generally good prices
