So you get...

Stainless sump pan bolts
The laser cut girdle (slightly different to pictured) fits 1.6 and 1.9 8V motors.
This second batch cost me quite a bit more, he says the initial batch were priced wrong

Sure, in the UK shipped...AND after I have mine all together lol.
Looks like great work. Great job on this. The spacers is what I was stalling on mine and why ultimately it doesn't have one. Awesome deal.

As far as I know these will not work on a 1.6 unless you have another spacer for the oil pan bolts. I have a girdle like shown, but I tried fitting it with no such luck. Once on the main caps, you need a spacer between the block and the girdle. Or at least on Canadian 1.6 TD's. I don't see an extra spacer.

Dunno what you are on about
you can't fit the standard oil pan bolts back in anyway as they are now 6mm too short.
The main cap spacer are easy once you have the girdle sorted.
Anyway, here you go.....
Fits!
This is the prototype, hence the adjusted dipstick hole.

I think I know now, the sump pan is going to be close to them main bearing cap bolts, I've gotta find my sump pan and try it
so this is totally bolt on no machining or anything?
Yep. The only hassles were undoing the end four main bearing cap bolts and working out the assembly sequence so that it fits together.

bit of a newb when it comes to these engines but why the need for a crank girdle? is there some sort of weakness/fault ive not heard of or are you running with high torque levels?

Yes the engines have a weakness in the fact they don't like VNT turbos throwing 30+ psi at them
The girdle is a fairly advanced level of tuning, not really applicable to fairly standard tune-ups.
I'll (hopefully) be running hybrid pump, VNT turbo, MLS gasket, twin plenum inlet, port matched head. 150hp target.

Are you just running the oil pan bolts clear through the oil pan, gasket, and girdle? Also, are you running 2 gaskets or just one? Dipstick would have to be marked to the new thickness of the girdle too correct?
