Yes, it says with the HP24 front end fitted it is 15mm longer. Presumably this means the pump housing. However I was told that with the shorter diesel tailend fitted as well it works out the same length.
Will clarify when I am down there.

Yep the shorter tail housing accommodates the extra length, I'm sure it's not just the pump housing, it's the part that houses the front clutch but I suppose that may also be part of the pump housing. It matters not, with the bigger clutch the box is 15mm longer making it a 24, the 15mm shorter tail housing means that overall length is the same so mountings, props etc are all the same. I think the output shaft to the transfer box is also different to accommodate the shorter tail housing

Datatek:
I will ask the question.

Sean:
If you know someone who can change the gear change points in the ECU that will be very interesting. As I understand it it is a Bosch ECU and it is encrypted.

clutch A front clutch does sit against pump housing and is strengthened ,clutches C1 and 2 arent really but oneway (free wheel) is ,strengthened epicyclics isnt important
