Thanks for the offer Fred but I think I'm sorted now. Going to fit the engine & box so wondered whether it's a straight forward swap, anyway, managed to get a pre engaged starter this week & tried it out, I'm using the larger flywheel & clutch that came with the engine & the 1159 gearbox, I'd read on here before that you have to grind some metal off the bell housing to allow for the bigger clutch so I did this & bolted it all together, I also had to grind a little metal away where the starter enters the bell housing as one of the screws in the starter was stopping it fitting, the only other problem was the engine mount fouled the starter but the HC mount fits just needed to re-drill it to accept the HB mounting rubber, going to fit it tomorrow hopefully & will take some pictures
