    I've got plenty of pictures. I'll write up something for the conversions thread when I get the time.

    Meanwhile feel free to ask me anything specific.

    If you're going to use the 2.0 head there's other issues I haven't had to address because I'm using the 1800 k-jet head.

    Had to make a spacer for the Engine mount bracket. Normally the Alternator mount tucks under here.



    Bolted up all the pullys and belts after torquing the head. Those stretch bolts take an effort!

    Assorted Clutch assembly shots.

    Pressure plate is a new Sachs 210mm 16v unit.
    Driven Plate is 210mm Heavy duty sachs.
    Flywheel is MK2 210mm and is much lighter than the 190mm MK1 unit.
