Expert Posts: 4262 Location: Tebworth | Looks very nice. There's a further mod to the selector mechanism which replaces the linkage part in pic 004 with the UJ from a steering column - makes the gear change even more positive. | ||

Got my rover 220 turbo gearbox ready to build onjto k series bell housing just waiting for it to come back from machine shop wher im having it altered to take larger bearing. Then off to powder coaters were i will have casings done Does not need machining since the outer race of the bearing is the same. You can drill and tap 2 holes to take the patch lock though if you like but its not really a machine shop job. | ||

Expert Posts: 9862 Location: Cornwall | i didnt bother with the 2 holes, asumed it wasnt really needed as the other box didnt have it, had no problem from it yet. built the box myself at home. Ralph | ||

There's a further mod to the selector mechanism which replaces the linkage part in pic 004 with the UJ from a steering column - makes the gear change even more positive. Couldn't agree with this more. This mod makes the PG1 gearchange absolutely awesome and is really easy to do. | |||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 558 | Looking good Daz. I've had bad experiences with those particular oil seals though - the one seemed fairly loose in the hole and it never sealed when the driveshaft went in + they are difficult to get dead square without the 'outer protection ring' hope you don't get the same issues.
