Not sure about the electrical tape on the inlet to the throttle body but the rest looks excellent, great job mate. I agree. You should have used duct tape.

Great,the motor is running...although a little roughly.Its a bit loud though,suppose it does have the 3 inch exhaust...no turbo now it was to be expected .

Re: Anyone done a hydraulic clutch conversion to a lb?

Yes I have one ,had a comparo, its too long for my LC and the original it was modified by welding original one when I picked up the car off Ebay anyway.

You could have it shortened...but its location may have to be moved over as well.Its got a HUGE spring in it ...be careful. :)
