starter will work fine. use a t18 or other drivers side mounted clutch slave(22re coronas? old w50 celicas/coronas ect.) the bellhousing wont have holes or threads tapped yet, so use whatever one seems best.

im yet to work out the fork, i currently have a w55 22re fork, a w50 style fork and a t50 one, i assume one will fit haha ill let you know if i work it out.

hope some of that helps ya bro

Yeh helps heaps man. I got my bellhousing today and yeh saw no thread tapped. I might get 22re corona slave and I will have a t50 clutch fork and a w55 one too.
What's the best way to make a gearbox mount?? I presume get the corona x member and make something off that.

There's been a thread or two about exactly this in the past. Have a search for them. I know I've definitely posted in them, and probably used the word "tailshaft" which might help for a search.

TA22 is an other slave option. Use the W5* fork, throwout bearing and holder. Gearbox crossmember isn't hard to make. Modify the Corona one if it's close to the holes in the body, or make one up from scratch from bits of plate.
