you've got to keep the BT yellow surely It's a tough choice really. Yellow would be nice and original but think it may look better in a deep-ish red. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The van came out of it's winter hibernation today. Battery is deader than Elvis, so with a quick jump start it fired straight up (once I'd turned the fuel pump on :$).

Do you think any of that could have been caused by any kind of abuse ?

Possibly but not in out posession. I bought this box autumn last year as damaged. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I can't take credit for the building of the gearbox. It came from my clubby with an exploded diff. Andy replaced the diff and fished the remains of the diff from the reverse gear. On 12th Feb, 2011 tadge44 said:

With the s/c box I think we can up the power with one less thing to worry about. That one came up at a good price, so John just went and got it with out saying anything to me... I'm pleasantly surprised by how straight forward gearboxes are to work on. The advice I got here - 'get a haines book of lies and JFDI' was good advice
