Ok

Was trying to be helpfull by showing it to you all.

There will bean advert on Which-Kit soon...

Give me an e-mail address to send pictures of build to or tell me how to paste them on here.

As for mating the gearbot to engine...

Automatic jaguar flywheel (with ring gear).. Starter motor is engine side so already attatched to block... 38mm solid spacer (made in house on CNC lathe/milling machine) fits ovet the top and bolts onto crank... Is drilled and tapped to accept the Audi double mass flywheel (which has intergral spigot bearing as opposed to it being in the end of the crank) and then the sandard Audi clutch mates to the gearbox.

The rear of the Jaguar engine (where standard gearbox fits) is 24mm shallower tan the Audi one... therefor the adapter plare is onlr 14mm thick and plasma cut from steel plate before being machined.

The bellhousing diameter on the Audi gearbog is some 17mm smaller than the one of the Jag so no overlap on mounting holes was experienced.

Also the rear of the Jaguar block protrudes beyond the flywheel allowing clearance.

It is not rocket science.
