Gearbox is ON
« on: 24 October 2007, 16:21:29 »
Well today I woke up late, so didn't start till 14:30.

In the space of 90 minutes, I have just single handedly fitted my gearbox.

It was a bit of a beggar, didn't want to line up at all, but then I was resting it in the tunnel on two jacks, trying to fight it in, so what can you expect really.

However, looks like it may be on hold till tomorrow - I've just had a call from one of those employers, they want to see me NOW  ;D

At least the bulk of the work is done

I told the guy I was currently wrestling a gearbox on, and that I would need to shower first, he just chuckled...

Well, got home, got back into dirty clothes. Got the prop fitted, and the clutch bled. I can feel a good pedal resistance, so hopefully all is well.

Then got the Cats on the bench, and sorted out those troublesome threads.

Tomorrow, all that's left to do, is pop the cats on, and turn the key....

Wish me luck ;D
