Just seen Nathan's picture on FB, looks sweet mate :Q

G/box mounts are a bit confusing though :-? ,

That cradle is the original one and the gearbox was just a standard BC one that's fitted to an RS1800.

When I was speaking to Jon yesterday on the island, I couldnt work out why it wouldn't fit either, I thought all gearbox cradles was interchangable throughout the years? Blame Shaun for giving him dodgey parts ;) :lol:

Get some pics up soon as you can too, be nice to see the engine sitting in the car :)
