Back to the drawing board. Tried some modified rearward bushes in some spare wishbones. Failed.

Refit my wishbones tomorrow. Sigh...

With alot of kicking and screaming, a pry bar, a grinder and a couple of hammers, dropped the gearbox to change the clutch ::)

Took a bit of a beating to refit it as well, but all done. Do wonder if an auto wouldn't be easier though :-\

Release bearing was not long for this world but the fiction plate was a tad crunchy and polished. All that remains is to refit the propshaft and cats, but they can wait for another, warmer day.  ::)
