I couldn't tell you, do the hubs come as a separate item or are they pressed in to the bearings when you buy them?
Need to sort this out!

I still can't see why anything should be going wrong, can't really go wrong pressing the hub into the bearing...
Bearing is located fine between the 2 circlips, aaaaah!

Perhaps he was a rough cunt when putting the bearings in.

More F*cking Problems
My issue with blowing fuses for the wiper stalk/circuit still remains...
Removed the scuttle to see if anything was unusual under there - nothing, everything was fine.
Removed steering column couling etc - nothing visably wrong there.
A rake through the wiring for under the dash and in the fuse box - nothing funny happening there either 
I'm now in a pretty shit situation, looking like a may have to give my car to the auto electricians as I am totally out of ideas 
If anyone wants to suggest anything to help me here, you are more than welcome!

Wipers still don't work
Powercap should be in here in the morning 
4 new tyres are ready to be fitted on Saturday morning, along with a reconditioned MAF
All I need now is some front springs to raise it slightly and perhaps a N/S wing to tidy it up...
Will update as parts arrive etc.

Homemade 'adapter plate' removed today, thank fuck
Powercap fitted and throttle cable re-routed over cam cover - seems to be better, throttle isn't as stiff
That is all

Blue is ignition live, brown is unknown - my mate ran them for me whilst i was at the pub
Looks much better with the cap though Once the MAF is here then she'll be back ready for the road

did you have to cut the bulk head when you fitted the powercap?

Yeah, you can see the mess I made of it in the first picture above - the engine was in before I remembered and with limited cutting tools the hammer came out
Powercap hides the mess pretty well now though I think
