Cheers boys - she won't be coming out in any 'inclement weather' that's for sure, it'll be tucked up in a warm dry salt free garage!

Just checked and the pad with the lug should be against the piston mate - see here. Not sure if it makes a great deal of difference?

That pad at the front with the lug on it should be facing the piston bud. Could swap the pads over but not sure if it makes a difference.

As silly as it sounds, driving this thing would be a sin.
Belongs indoors only.

Yeah that lug slots inside a cut out on the piston to stop the pad coming out and loose.
Keep up the work Lewis

I'm sure some pads all 4 have the bits on
hence the clearance in the carrier to accomodate it
so he may have it right as
and colin I thought it was to stop the piston winding back in not holding the pad?

As said, it would be a sin to dude. I cleaned my car yesterday and then it pissed it down when i went to Sheffield last night. I was guttered, actually didnt want to drive it. And my car's no where near as nice and clean as yours. (Washed car again today... let's hope it dont rain lol)
EDIT: It rained lol

Thanks Gentlemen!
A bit more news tonight - Bob rang yesterday, and aftter winding me up a bit by saying it still wasn't working, he conceded and told me that he mangaged to sort the clutch. This was after fitting the new bearing and spacer made up by Mardi Gras, and having to remove the box AGAIN as it still wasn't biting properly. SO, took it off again, took another 5mm off the spacer and re-assembled it all, now it works! He took it for a road test on sunday avro just to check everything, and he said 'it goes well' and it's loud as fuck (especially without a full exhaust) lol So the program for this week is get the dash wired in, and all being well it should be coming home on sunday. Just need the exhaust making up then and she's good to go. I cannot wait to drive the poxy thing! :

Lol i'm a bit envious but still...at least I will be safe in the knowledge that it works properly!
Cheers boys...not long now! Should be home on sunday *rubs hands together* May nip over to Bob's on thursday night too so I can give it a quick test drive...probably won't be able to drive it I bet!
I rang him again this evening - it's got new spark plugs now (old one's were quite fouled up) - gawd knows why Longmans didn't change them the cheap cunts, especially as my bill was over £1200! Bodies are now all balanced properly, she starts up lovely and idles nice, goes well too. Apparently the gearing is majorly short though so i'll have to see how I get on with it. That can be the next project! Bob is starting the dash wiring too tonight (STACK) so should be able to get some more decent pics on thursday eve. I'm excited now! You almost loose interest when you don't see it for ages, and have problems (like the clutch etc) but i'm starting to get stoked on it again now!
