most people just bond them in to the seal etc. demon tweeks sell polycarbed ones for around £200 the set

lol at their poly carb set costing £200, ring them up and price them up with sliders both sides and a thermo formed rear window.
jr, they wont move, they are jammed in at the moment, but soon i will run a line of window bond on the top edge to hold them in, so no screws.

i want to rev to silly revs now i have the crank and dry sump, be a shame not to really!
so the rods i bought apperently wont handle those revs, they will rev to 9000 (which is more than enough for 200+bhp) but i need more

yeah, definitely.
and if you're going all out with the rest of the build, you should get the best rods you can.
