Well a good old sesh in the factory today has gotten results. With the makka skills or Mr Murran the new motor is finally seated and bolted in!!!
I did the important job of supervising and making coffee while John did all the easy work of putting the motor in.
Shiddy phone pics im afraid
The finish line is just about in sight now

You did of course do the loom first, meaning the wiring headaches some people get won't be an issue..?
Mines done, just need to put the engine in...
