Any suggestions steve

Was the splits in the subframe a result of the crash or from years of heavy track use?

Nothing to do with crash
It's all wear and tare and probably happened quicker due to track work

Ok right, cheers, this has been bothering me and I'm keen to get one of the sub frame braces from Gaz as soon as they're available.

I'm not sure
But don't think the subframe is just moving in that direction to cause the split

Clutch on today and prepped the 4.17 gearbox

[siztenboots]

did you use an alignment tool on the clutch or just go for it?

 

no complaints about my helix , done over 100,000 on it

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Just went for it steve
You can feel the paddles at the back so line them up evenly with the fly wheel edge
Also looked through the spline gap and it looks bang on
