Fitted to the block. The idea is that the disc on the end of the fake crank is a near interference fit in the bell housing. I can now make an adapter plate from 6mm steel plate and the fake crank forces the centre line of the gearbox to line up with the centre line of the engine:-

All very clever and impressive.
I'd be happy just to have the bits on me workbench and know the engineering that went in to them. Wouldn't matter if it worked or not

Edit. I can't link to him because this forum won't allow me to link to autosxxxxe
You have to google for this phrase "Tales of a new business, trials and endless uphill battles by Jikovron"
Edit2: He has a website of his own https://www.rrmotorworks.co.uk/ I'm very happy to recommend him.

Looks a very clever bloke.
Long way to take your parts to be machined.
Beautiful part of the country though. I used to love my trips up to the Thorntons chocolate factory in Belper. Always got a good stock of treats from the staff shop... and felt sick as a dog by the time I got back home to South London

This is all very impressive stuff. Nice to see a bit more proper engineering, knowledge and ingenuity. As interesting as Ali's build!
I know - I get all happy with myself if I manage to replace a set of rear brake shoes
(Bloody tricky them things, nuts and springs and all sorts, let me tell you)
Well done chaps
