Intending to use the 1Y windage tray with the elongated holes plated over to try to prevent surging of oil up into bores on hard braking. (Peteabbott experienced something that may have been this). Bell housing will need sump bolt holes elongating by 2 or 3mm.

I had to extend the two gearbox holes where the sump bolts on by a couple of mm due to the thicker gasket, but easy enough

Nice! That doesn't look to painful. I'm going to use the pooh plate to mark it up. I wasn't looking forward to filing all that
