adapter plate fitted to base plate, note that later I found one of the long bolts sticking out was getting in the way of the choke leaver and had to be shortened

Thanks. Its all back off again though, along with the carb, manifolds and to many other bits that have nothing to do with the clutch.

Problem is the only place Ive got to keep the bits is in the car, so its more about altering the weight distribution :lol:
