Isn't 2nd visible on the previous photos? (Page 1 of this thread)

BTW - was planning to replace lay shaft, front and rear bearings, both lay gear/shaft needle bearings, and the needle bearing between first and third motion shafts for good measure.

Decided to pull it apart.

Aldi is doing a 2.5HP Air Compressor deal for £89.99 this week. They're also doing lots of tools, including an Air Filter Regulator with hoses for £19.99. Out on Thursday 13th. Spec as follows: Air compressor with easy-start motor and rubber feet for reduced vibration. Suitable for DIY and the home ...

The absence of information about API rating on the label implied but didn't confirm the spec of the oil, so I thought I'd ask the question to confirm one way or the other and to quote the very helpful Hayley at Wilkinsons' Customer Service: " Thank you for taking the time to contact us with you...

POMMReg, what was the last Chassis/VIN number? (Bull Motif suggests 1294082)

If it's hard then use a Cobalt drill rather than HSS. You'll be amazed at the different cutting ability of Cobalt drills.

Ah, thanks hadn't appreciated that it was not a Minor box up to this point. Also tells me what reverse switch I need to get (I'd like to fit a reversing light at some point anyway).

Will probably replace the tailshaft seal.

Interesting point on the ratios.

Still can't get a decent photo but to me the teeth on the gears look reasonable. There appears to be some play on the input shaft, i.e. I can wiggle it laterally, but I don't know if it's normal/within tollerance. So, what next? I'd rather only go to the effort of installing the box if it's going to...

They've also got the BS, RAL and Pantone colour charts on their site, some of those colours may be close.

Great, thanks!

Approximately: 52" L x 48" W x 6" H (Excluding gutters and measured in situ)

Excuse me for hijacking this post a tad.

Rustoleum only seem to do a limited set of colours, is it possible to get suitable paint in standard BMC colours? If so, anybody know where please?

So it can't be seen with the selector in any position?

Sorry, but I'm confused. I though first gear was the second from the left in the first set of pictures, or are you referring to the corresponding cog on the layshaft?

More pics (not easy to take photos inside!!): [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1391420702_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1391420717_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1391420731_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1391420748_10075 [/frame] looks fairly good to me with ...

Some close ups...

What's best to see how 1st and laygear look like? ...open up and remove? ...as per the Workshop Manual?

Four pics, hopefully in order of 1st to 4th gear selected: [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1390751037_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1390751050_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1390751061_10075 http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1390751077_10075 [/frame] The teeth look p...

OK, so some while back I acquired a spare gearbox for the princely sum of £35.22...including delivery....from Newcastle by Tyne :lol: I have no history for the box so I need to check it out and decide whether it's fine as-is, needs a refurb or is only good for parts, so I come seeking wisdom :o I to...

I received my invite to the 34th Annual Vintage & Specialist Car Rally will take place at Tredegar House Newport on Sunday 21st September.

Sadly it's being promoted as the 'Last' one. It's a shame as it's been a fantastic show in the past.

I used 6mm SWA cable to absolutely guarantee that there would be no unacceptable voltage drop (>5%) over the ~35m length, even at the highest usage that the remote MCBs can handle (6A lighting + 16A sockets = 22A x 230v = 5.06kW). I will never get near that level of usage but the extra cost of the n...

Lots of factors involved here like distance, type of cable, etc.

TLC has a calculator that gives an approximation.
