Hi Lee
So I'm playing catch up already? Just spent the weekend putting a new floor in my shed to get ready for the build off. In the meantime I'm picking another F1 up on Sunday so I've got a good source of info for our builds I'll restore it once our build off is finished
Atb Matt

Hi Jon I did quite a few bolts in the end, the spindle in the pic took 40mins because it wouldn't totally go in so I had to turn it,but the smaller ones only took about 20 mins,Matt Don't know how to link on this iPad mate,too old lol,but here's a pic of the eBay kit I bought
