Are you sure tunnie mate only i'm sure the transfer pipe has to go on last as it came off first and all the other part seem flat but that has a angle to it ??? :-[ :-[ Just want to be sure before i put it back together. :y

I lost mine and mark told me to cut 5mm of the bolt. I did this and it all went well.
