Thanks Tilly that would be handy if you knew who the gear came from, £75 quid is like 3/4 of what you said it cost you to create a reverse!

I have nearly finished welding my engine cradle, earlier though I noticed some pitting on my clutch cover near the gasket to the block, are these Magnesium because I think it may be weld splatter from tacking the cradle.

I think the paint must be thin at the edge of the cover and the spatter has touched metal, they are all within 3mm of the edge, it seeded to of turned it to a graphite like substance the pitting is only shallow 0.5mm so sprayed some galv spray on it.

Also can welding with your engine in damage the electronic sensors? am guessing all the current will flow to the earth clamp. Am guessing the RF spikes wouldn't do an ECU any good.
