Then spent an hour and a half bolting the Fkn starter motor in the custom pipes don’t allow the easiest access in the world and the top bolt hole in the chinesuim CRS bellhousing wasn’t happy about having a bolt inserted so I had to modify a tap to fit in a hex socket then use a heap of extensions and run a tap through the bastard using a short ratchet from just behind the alternator to clean the hole out - then the bolt would wind in by hand from underneath and nip it up with the aforementioned 24” extensions and ratchet so then bourbons happened and work came to a crashing halt …..

Nicely run lines and wires.

Getting it done
I hate extractorsmainly because they cook the starter then make it near impossible to replace.

I got a similar one done by Ken Mclean - even has the same switch. They are a neat fit. See if you can snag the other end of the plug off an old Commie loom, as it makes it neater.

Bit more today, finished off the fuel line at the front , had to fab up a bracket to brace it to the floor -



Made up some studs to mount the coil packs to the side of the donk , used stock side plate bolts and welded another bolt to them
