Take half of it.

The toilet roll or the pipe?

What happened to him? he used to be funny.

Absolute bargain, there's money to be made there.

I'm 72, Old fashioned engineer, can't teach an old dog new tricks when he doesn't want to know.
Haven't got time or inclination really.
Find it difficult to remember things at times too.
I use a pencil and paper best, but then lose the papers.

Hadn't seen the Olympic, yes I'd have a go at that if I was 53 and not 73.
Can only take short jobs on now
Rang my mate at TMR supplies for a clutch fork, "are you open". 
No but I'll open up for you!
Splendid chap.
So late start after a trip to Barrowford.
Went well today,
Lsd, checked it over, bit grubby but we have had it years.
Not many use LSD's on shale, we mostly do. Break less half shafts and handles better.
 

 
Half shaft, note bearing collar tack welded. Pull out if you don't do that.
 

 
Completed.
 

 
Engine back in, hope it stays there this time.
 

 
If all is well the gearbox should fit.
 
Might have a go in the morning, nothing else to do.
Going sons for Xmas lunch, and other son in Cavcraft territory Boxing Day.
 
Edit, that crankshaft pulley lets it down, I'll get a black paint brush.

I'd plane it back, It's uphill.

This works even better if you’ve got another number plate that’s already half right.

Right, balls in egg's court.
Can only assume your details supplied to not fit paypals  criteria.

Tried paying twice Mr Knight.
It comes up as pending in my paypal.
On advice from Mr egg I have cancelled payment.
Mr egg has hatched a plot!
I pay him, he pays you.
Will begin proceedings now.

4 years! I hope mine lasts that long.

Collected this yesterday, it looks almost finished, unfortunately it's nowhere near.
 

 
I fitted the engine today, you can't see it because I had to take it out again.
The clutch lever i expertly* modified will not function.
Have to buy a new one.
Chassis is constructed in such a way that you can't take the bell housing off from the back.
I altered our last chassis, but this is powder coated so I'm loath to take the angle grinder to it.
 
This is a front upright as supplied.
 

 
Cost £120
 
This is a Cortina front upright as supplied by me, cost about £30
 
For obvious reasons I prefer Cortina, I have a few* lying about.
I know the discs rusty but it won't be by March.
 
Tomorrow Diff, half shafts and rear calipers maybe.

Crem was full, pub was full.
I didn't blub, which felt strange.
Met people she worked with that I haven't seen for 30 years, kids who remembered her and are now in their 40s.
Whole thing went very well.
If anyone has the misfortune to need organise a Funeral in Greater Manchester area I can recommend an inexpensive place with top notch service.
 
Thanks to all for your thoughts and assistance.
 
Picking a new chassis up Saturday all being well. Normal service will be resumed after that.
 

On the Mondeo the belt drives other things and the water pump runs on the back side of the belt so goes the opposite way to the crankshaft.
For racing you want least weight and simplicity so water pump runs same way as crank.
TBH some use an idler pulley, which to my mind is better, because we have no means to tighten the belt.
 But it's easier to do as I'm told.
