The final piece of the puzzle is nearly done ready to be welded into place, just some trimming to do now. The markings on the end case are where the new gear will be... the bearings are BLOODY close though! Too close for my liking, so im going to look for something more compact than 47mm OD on the bearing, something around 40mm would be good!



Does anyone know how you remove the original selector spindle from the box? I want to remove it and have an ally bung welded in, to either use as an oil pick up pipe or to maybe relocate the oil drain?

Pretty sure it's just a press fit mate, I've seen stories of people levering them out to drain their oil o_O

What do you mean by spindle? The bit that they sit on with a nut on the top? That bashes out. The rest of the mechanism just slides out.

I paid T&L engineering a visit today. Looks like they do some nice work there, but unfortunately they had the kind of "look down your nose" type of attitude towards me. Im guessing im just 8 cylinders short of the engines they generally work on. *angry*

He basically said it would be more than a days work to do at £50 an hour...Im going to try machining the bores out on some test pieces, to see what Kind of accuracy I can get. If its good then I'll probably have a go myself. *oh well*

On the plus side ive removed the selector spindle, and machined a bung up ready to be welded in.



Ive centre drilled it ready for when I drill it out for what ever I use it for (still undecided!



Ive also worked out how im going to do the reverse gear selector. I was offering everything up, to try and work out how to fit it in, then found a hole that lined up exactly with the selector fork shaft, then it clicked that it was the original hole for the selector shaft! *happy* All I need to do is drill a hole in the new end plate and find a solenoid the right spec. Ive measured the selector movement and it 8mm, so if anyone knows where I can get a 12v push solenoid from (sealed type) that would save me hours more searching. Im also after a pinion to machine down if anyone has one spare?

Nope not much left, but im taking it to the welders tomorrow though.

Ive found a solution to the solenoid. Im going to use a door lock or starter solenoid. :)

dont think a door lock solenoid would be man enough personaly
it wouldnt be hard to make your own imo, the starter solenoid ( pre-engaged type i assume ) is little more than a coil of wire

Ive seen some 60lbs force ones, seem to be mainly used in the hotrod scene. I agree the standard plastic ones look a bit feeble and difficult to mount!

Cheers Rob, I'll keep them in mind. We've done some measurements and the box will fit on the saddle of my mates lathe with an adaptor plate. I'd have to mill some flats on the underside of the box, but it looks like it might be the best option.

Shellspeed - Ive had a look on the site, but im finding it really difficult to narrow my search down. Is there any way to see some picutres of the solenoids?

Ive just had a look on fags site, but looks like you need to fill in some application form. *oh well*

I had a look on SKF's site and they have a calculator but it doesn't work for needle rollers. lol I might give them a call when I get a chance though.

go to your local starter/alternator place and grab a few solenoids, a solenoid off anythind pre-engaged (i.e. made in the last 20 years lol) and diesel is generally pretty meaty. other option could be a vacuum actuator? slower but less harsh

send me schematics of the shafts and il enter it and send you a screen shot matt .i am a registered user on that site .but it only does sigle shaft calcs ,, but can narrow down the bearings choices .

As my gearbox is off to be welded I thought I'd crack on with the subframe.

Ive taken out 2kgs so far, but not sure where I can lose any more safely? *oh well* Im thinking some small holes around the rear mounts, but not sure where else?
