thats as far as its got for now gotta wait till clutch plate comes to go any further as mines knackered im gona use pug flywheel and spring plate with sj clutch plate (how iv read its done) just have to get the clutch plate machined a bit to fit in the pug flywheel
then mating the box to the engine from what iv seen the 1.6 conversion plate thats already on my box should work in my favor with a bit of side ways drilling

Just a word of warning, technically this will need to be IVA tested once converted to coils, VOSA are clamping down.
