    Where to route cables

    Legal advice

    Draw some comfort from knowing you're not the first and unlikely to be the last person to find themselves in such a situation. Someone else beat me to the quoting of the relevant acts I assume it was done by someone appertaining to operate a business? Hopefully you have something in writing...

    Have you got the engine out, if so you will need to measure up the clutch diameter to make sure you get the correct replacement.
