Unfortunately when i arrived about 2pm they were having lunch so i felt kind of bad but Stewart said hello and after finishing off his sandwich showed me over the car. Whilst i was waiting i snapped some shots of the modified bell housing before it had been cleaned up and ground back.
Bit rough looking i must admit but all the edges and fins get ground down to blend in apparently - famous last words?
We went over to the car and looked at the drive shaft to see if the uni joints were ok and unfortunately they were cactus as i suspected, the drive line noise i had been hearing was in some part to do with this along with also finding out a new thrust bearing is in order as well.
Going to go with option 2 as per previous post as can't use the standard tail shaft and simply cut off the end as the uni's are worn.
We took the pressure plate off the clutch to inspect the discs and intermediate plate, you can see some heat marks on both plates along with the flywheel. There is some meat left on the clutch but not much so Stewart is going to measure the material left and see if we can get away without replacing.
Not sure if i should just replace as the pressure plate is not flat now so i think i might have further issues
