Spoken with Ed @ Wards and ordered new bolts, nuts and caliper seals to replace some of the nasty ones left over from Mr Hammerite. He's also sent the correct nuts for the upper wishbone pivot shafts.

Decided to paint the calipers silver instead of the blue they came in. The receipts I have stated they're refurbed units but I've changed the seals anyway to be on the safe side. 

 Next order of the day is sorting the battery + cable, fuel line run and brake lines. I think these must have been done prior to the new IVA ruling as they are not well secured and completely the wrong spacing. Also the clips used are nasty so I ordered some stainless P clips and have set about it!

End result is a damn site better than before but has been a pain in the arse trying to bend round the gearbox and drill holes with a 4 inch clearance. I think this engine is going to have to come out.

Ive also checked the alignment and general geometry. Stupidly I didn't take any photos of this but I used this as a guide:
