Wires and Drivetrain

Next I decided to lay in some harnessing before assembling and install the engine and transmission.  I loosely laid the harness on the frame attaching it temporarily with zip ties and putting the ends of the harness in the general location where they'd be finally attached.

Once I was satisfied with the layout I started assembling the engine to the transmission.  First, flywheel and pilot bearing agttach to crankshaft

Then, clutch disc is sandwiched between pressure plate and flywheel.

Then, the clutch fork and throwout bearing are assembled and installed into the bellhousing, and the bellhousing is attached to the engine.  In this application I had to shorten the pivot bolt that the clutch fork attaches to in order to keep the throw out bearing from riding on the pressure plate.

With that all assembled next it was time to attach the transmission to the bellhousing.  I ran into a little trouble at this point because the pressure plate alignment tool could not hold the pressure plate in line with the pilot bearing while I was bolting up the pressure plate,  I ended up using a clamp to actuate the clutch while I installed the transmission so that it could all slide together.
