I was merely emphasising your point as it seemed no-one picked up on it

How about welding slip couplings into the primaries with SS exhaust springs?
Ill lend you my Tig and you can do it yourself

That's what I suggested to Colin. I ain't doing it though, just pointing him in the right direction (away from from me).

He's just been round, looks like he's put the engine in with a sledge hammer....

P.S anychance of using your scales to set the ride height of the Frog.

Sure anytime.
I saw the engine location, drive shafts hard against the subframe but dont know how he did it? I started to set his suspension but it was a mile out. 9.9 mm toe out overall at the front. Rears had 4-5 mm toe ine each side. I sorted one but needed the oxyacetylene to undo the nuts, didn't have time for the other.
Really needs redone completely to fine tune.

He put the engine in by himself with no engine hoist, so has damaged quite a few important bits. I did offer to put it in for him (using a hoist), but I wasn't free immediately so he put in on his own (splitting the box from engine). I dread to think what lurks under the engine cover.

I'll set-up his IACV, and point him the right direction for the exhaust issue and wish him luck.

P.S I'll give you a phone this week

He was 350 to make a manifold for my Evo using thicker wall tubing as they too are prone to cracking as they hold the turbo up

Yep I'd second (or third) them too, pretty experienced. Made my bung up for the Evo.
