surely that's for identifying an engine code (ie what the engine is, where it was built etc) and not for the individual engine. If two cars came off the assembly line they would be stamped with individual engine numbers to differentiate one from another even if their "casting" and "engine code" numbers were the same?

The BOM (Bill Of Material) would be far too complex to manage. It is built by using the part and the the part has a line of usage. You only attribute by the line of usage against the VIN.
Sorry for the thread deviation
I've talked to the technical guys at Wilwood, they have suggested that we use the 4-piston Dynalite or Dynapro calipers with our Granada Scorpio Discs.
We are also using 0.65 Tilton master cylinders which are already fitted to the pedal box.
I also hope to get a price from Southern GT this week for the adaptor plate, steering column and the fuel tanks and a price for the radiator from Docking Engineering.
So hopefully is shouldn't be long before we start work again on the car.
Not sure what size brake and fuel pipes i will need though.....any ideas?

Nathan,
Firstly, I live in Essex and the factory is a mere 5 mins drive from where I work.
Secondly, my car isn't built and on the road so I don't know how it handles yet.
Thirdly, there is no prescribed system. I bought just the shocks from them and gave them the specifications. They were kind enough to also make them with a slightly thicker rod (14mm). I have have just their basic shocks with singlt adjust. I bought them, as I had heard good feedback from their normal systems and they were competitively priced against AVO etc. Ultimately I will probably spend a bit on springs once the car is on the road trying out different rates, or even using a cobimation of springs like some memebers do with the the Eibach springs.
