Dire economic circumstances forced a change of plan, instead of replacing my very worn out gearbox with one which I was going to buy from a nice bloke on this forum, I'm now forced to reluctantly rebuild the knackered one I bought from ebay last year, i didn't know it were knackered when i bought it, that only became obvious when we drained the oil and out fell half a thrust washer. So we dragged it out of the crate at the bottom of a mates garden (where its been for best part of a year) and set about it. I don't want to do this but being broke providing the motivation, with a step by step guide found on the forum providing the know how.
So far so good, i read that this collar can be a tad tight.
Tight indeed, it wrecked my mates expensive puller
Some heat and eventually it came off, this is where were at now, i need to order a few replacement bits and a gasket set so its as is until then.

Little bit of welding on the trials 80 inch some grinding and making a bracket for the edis 8 pickup assy and trigger wheel.
All back together pretty sure it's in the correct place. Will find out when it's all welded up and running or not!

I wants a 6 way thingy. not 8way same as what ya get on a phone handset but with 6 pins instead of 4.
I had some from Maplins But I've used em all up. Everytime I change me landy I have to make up a new cable for the bloody thing.
Edit just found some on Screwfix £6.99 for 100
That should keep me going for a while...
