Yes CBS have an eBay shop so got most of my kit from there except for the tees.

CBS not the cheapest but turns up next day.

Working out what imperial or metric bits you need can be a pain and expensive if you get it wrong!

Nah, I did things the hard way.

I trawled through ebay looking for the bits that I thought I needed, then sent back what I didn't use.

I can send you through the links to the parts I used if that helps you out? Just let me know.

I have an earthing issue or a starter motor on the way out Other than that I should be ok

Jump lead from battery to starter bypassing all earths, if you still have the problem then starter motor

Yeah, If you think you have an earthing issue, jump the ground on the starter to the negative terminal on your battery. If the problem remains, your starter is fooked.

Anywhere on the outer body, anywhere apart from the big red lead that comes from your battery
