I have to say I wouldn't want to risk using a cracked flywheel, as when it goes it goes, and with already being cracked it is just a matter of time before the cracks grow long enough until fast fracture can occur.
Not really something you want to risk  :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYZV...eature=related

Reduction valve
When you installed the brake pressure reduction valve in your rear brake line what size of union was used on the input side? It seems a lot bigger than 10 x 1.
I was trying to work out which way around it went until I came across the question you had asked on the ma5da racing forum. David

My local friendly garage had a dig through their pot of brake unions and found one the right size

I think it must be time for an update!
Haven't had a huge amount of time to spend on the build for the last couple of months, but slowly managed to strip the engine down and replace the head. Also swapped the scary cracked flywheel with a decent second hand one I picked up via mx5nutz. The free engine stand I got from the tip came in handy!  Actually got a decent session in the garage for the first time in ages tonight, and managed to get the engine into the chassis:  The bonnet fits, which is nice!

Wow, your spaghetti looks super tidy compared to mine. I'm trying to use the Sierra fusebox, and it looks like a tangle of wires.

Looking really good skov. I was looking at your photos. In the second album what is the blue cylinder shaped item. It looks like it is the last photo on there.

If you mean this, it's my fuel pump.  I'm currently figuring out where to stick it! I think I'm going to do something similar to Alga here: http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=8197
