Some distortion on the centre piece that holds the hand throttle and a little just above where the wings bolt on but nothing that couldn’t be hammered back into shape. If the steel isn’t spot less then the galv wont take and you end up with black patches. I placed bolts onto the riv nuts which just span round when trying to take them out ( mainly the 6 that hold the fuel filter etc) ended up drilling and re welding washers with nuts behind them !
My box was a factory refurbished, to be honest I dont think it had done many miles since being fitted, had to replace the rev gear cog on the layshaft and thats about it most of the bearings and seals were in good condition but replaced them anyway.Will look out for those areas .. thanks, it s not a box I have heard but one I have been given from a stash of spares,so an untested unknown start .. would have got some clues if it came from a running vehicle, but beggars cant be choosers
Well done there , thats what I usually do myslef.,sometimes the paint gets sticky though lol
