Adrian.With regards to leaks, mine was like Swiss cheese. Here's where I had to seal up
1. rear light gaskets
2. under the wheel arches - just cover all the seam sealer on the outside with PU adhesive
3. above the fuel filler pipe on the passenger wheel arch
4. Down the insides of the rear wings. By design there are holes at the front bottom of the rear wheel archs which allows water into the inside of the rear wings. It's a bugger to get your hand in to get rid of the rust. - Sand, as much as possible, wire brush, sand again, ku-rust liberally, hammerite, waxoyl
5. Where the jack is on the inside of the boot, if you look behind that there are sometimes holes there.
Will keep an eye on this thread. Mine is in road trim - but had the rear stripped out when I was searching for leaks

I noticed you are going for wrong way round dixcels. I tried this by accident, they are monsters and locked up my road tyres 
On a semi or slick it ight be good, but you will still need pretty good pedal control.

This has been recommended by Dixcel/DC2 owners. The car had the usual Dixcel judder that is really not good on a race car.
They were the less aggressive way round before, we were advised to swap them and see if it improves matters. We shall see (once the loom is back in and it is drivable!)
