Gearbox back in again

Well i got the engine out over Christmas, the spigot bearing was damaged slightly. Apart from that there was nothing wrong, so the noise i heard was - Drum roll don't know. I've done about 15 miles and all is fine. Wilst the engine was out this time i made a baffle for the sump to help with oil surge, Don't know if this is going to work yet need better days to get the car out and drive it.

The speedometer is sorted and works well, i just need to add a bracket to the bellhousing to support the speedo cable.

I'm just tidying up the build now, getting the gearlever correct, replacing all the wiring,sealing the engine cover and a load of other small jobs and i hope i can call this one done.

Over and above this I've got caught up in the technicalities of ignitions and that where the next challenge lies i think.
