    They look too big to me or have they changed the size lately.

    Not sure what you mean by too big, I've had no dramas with them they fit well in either centre console or up in the instrument cluster.

    Look at the one on the dash surround looks abnormally larger then the others.
    looks good in the center where they are all the same size though.

    Engine mounts fabricated and the old ones removed and given a tidy up.

    Still having trouble with the dellow part of this conversion. The adjustable clutch rod from dellow makes no sense to me it, to start with its marked as a holden conversion, the factory clutch fork does not have a hole for the rod to go through to make it adjustable. On the phone again tomorrow. One can assume the outcome will be I need to use their fork....

    I asked my certifying Engineer about that very thing and he said no need to upgrade, however as its going to be a tow vehicle I probably will at some stage.

    I wish, just started a new Job....anyway in no great hurry to have this finished - sorry guys. Apart from the bellhousing/clutch and the mounting of the cluster and HIM/ICC its all going to be pretty much plug and play.

    I agree with your engineer it should weight about the same as std, so for daily driving towing no need.
    but you may need a neck brace, LOL.
