Euans and Scotts are the only ones in justnow Col. Euans will just be check up and tweaks and Scotts is part mapped. Mine should be in by the end of the week if alan has space/time.
Whats the story with it Chop is the box still not changed.
Col Wuls might be going in for a few tweaks aswell so Alan is going to be busy, when should yours be going in.
box is changed alright! took a LOT of work and swearing over the weekend and mon night! however there is a problem which andy will explain if he wants. stoopid gearboxes!!
Im just waiting on an oil feed fitting then thats mine good to go Col, might make a filter heat sheild if i have time before the weekend aswell. Will phone ava tomorrow and see when i can get my car in.
as above my RST wont be at the RR'd day, the engine is ran in and most likely would have been ready had it not been for gearbox breakages. We changed over to a new box at the Weekend/Mon night with the help from some good friends(you know who you are) Thanks.
Job complete and with the car back together, a few adjustments were being made to the clutch cable, when all of a sudden we were let down by the casing on the gearbox that retains the clutch cable in place sheering from the box casing itself.
The box now needs removed again which isnt as straight forward as it may sound, to then have the gearset rebuilt into another case.
Its just not going to happen in time.

Good luck to the rest of you lads
Andy,
I'm going to go round past over the next few days and have a lookie and see if we cant fabricate up a bracket for the cable without removing the box
Toughy, little birdie told me today is supposed to be a top day for you
Yes no doubt he'll be driving home singing that old faithful by The vapours
"I think I'm turnng Japanese, I think I'm turnng Japanese, i really think so......."
They are fixing the problem I had with the ABS and then it should be on the rollers for a wee tweak here and a wee tweak there, here a tweak, there a tweak, tweak tweak tweak!

Oh dear! Not good news at all. A bracket could easily be fabricated to make it work.
Sound's like you required a proper Engineer to be there with a welder, bolts and some metal!
Sorry I never turned up to help. Not really in car mood nor a guy-laugh anyway, even though my van is MOT'less since Friday and it's still sitting in the field since 2 weeks ago!
Just talked to Alan mine will hopefully be going in at the weekend or start of next week, thats it all up and running again. Getting chatter when lifting off from just over 2k
