So, as far as parts acquisition has been going, I think I am in pretty good shape. There are two relatively rare major assemblies I still need to source, and that is the chargecooler and a late rear housing for the gearbox. The rear housing isn't a complete necessity as I can use the cover on the gearbox as it is, however I can't use the better shifter mechanism with it. Another alternative would be to have another cross-shaft made if I can't find a rear cover that is reasonably priced. I should be able to have a cross-shaft made for the price of some of the covers I have seen out there.

(Almost) New Rear Brakes
I have been fishing around on the web for a different rear brake solution. I had originally picked up a pair of early V8 rear brake calipers but they seemed to be a little under spec when compared to the 4-pot Sport 350 AP Racing front calipers I picked up from the Lotus aftersales list. I am very close to landing a pair of Sport 300 rear calipers from a gent in the UK. He has a pair that will need some reconditioning before I can use them, so they will spend some time with AP in England getting refurbished before being shipped to me.
