Hardest part I ha was the cables, they're mega tight (I have gsf rocco cables)
Had to kinda bodge em last time with threaded sleeves to get them to fit. But with interior out I had good acces with mole grips etc to get them rightmore than happy with my progress on it upto now as I've been in my unit 1 month and also knocked 2 spits up for others aswell as doing my car

Did you leave the engine in when you had it on the spit?

No mate. Not only the added weight whilst Turing it (heavier than you expect)

I didn't think you would have! I am steeling myself (geddit) ready for making my own, but have to practice a bit of welding first. I'm thinking of using some 4x4 timber posts to make the inverted "T" and only use steel for the crossbar and arms.
I still have to remove the engine and running gear - interior, doors and windows have already gone…

Megajolt wiring, runs an edis module from an old ford and basically gets signals from a throttle position and a crank sensor. Once you get to terms its quite simple to get the wiring sussed

Plusgas helps with the seizing issue. Spray a few times a day a few days before you intend to tackle the job
