Odd arrangement with the location of the bleed for the csc. I fitted a similar setup to my MG (sourced from Mal Wood), but it has a second hose that comes from the slave, with the bleed nipple at the end. In the MG I drilled a hole in the top of the bellhousing (Dellows bellhousing to fit a Toyota box) and ran the bleed hose to mount the bleed nipple up behind the head, which made bleeding the clutch very simple. In this photo the feed from the master is the hose coming in the bottom, and the bleed is the hose hanging off to the side from the top.

All the CSC's I've seen before had the second hose to bleed the system at the bearing. I plan on fitting the engine and gearbox next week, I guess I will soon know how difficult it is to bleed.

I hope for your sake that it bleeds without too much difficulty. :cheers:

I have finally got an engine and gearbox back in the car. The LGT-700 gearbox is from a Keisler kit. Everything fits perfectly, the shifter came out in exactly the right place, the tail shaft is the right length, the rear mount bolted straight up and the speedo cable fits with no sharp bends. I was expecting some dramas but everything was just a straight bolt in job. Due to its rounded case there is plenty of clearance on the sides of the transmission tunnel however there is only about 1/4 - 3/8" clearance on the top of the box.
The floor was previously sagging about 3/8" in the middle (apparently a common issue) which I fixed by carefully jacking the floor up and fitting hard 1" rubber blocks between the floor and crossmember. If I hadn't done this then the transmission would be just touching the top of the tunnel.
Another issue I had before was I could never adjust the T-tops so they would sit flush on the sides with the B pillar. They always sat out about 3 mil.
What I found when reinstalling the interior quarter panels was the top fastening screws I was using where too long. These where hitting the nut plate that the T-top side mount bolt to. This would not allow the side mount to be moved inward. Shorter screws in the top of the quarter trims panels has fixed that problem.
