OK thanks SB, will give it a go.

Excessive pedal travel before biting point after bleeding brakes and then clutch.
Clutch not engaging fully.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hopefully I'll have engine and gear box in over the next couple of weekends and finnish off the linkage.
Finger's crossed it'll fire up as well, will keep you posted.
Dropping the tank isn't that difficult, I did it a few weekends ago and was surprised how strait forward it is.

I think you will need to drop your fuel tank smiffo, have a read of this.

Looks like AB.... with something to the right to me. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp125/boyofabeach/gboxcode_zpslwhfahgt.jpg Could be... There are a few 5sp codes starting AB I will crawl under again tomorrow and take a closer look. ABD maybe? We need to find the third missing letter. Can you...

No problem mate, forgot to mention, a few tin's of Stella to help forget about the ££££££££££ yo'll be spending. :rofl That did cross my mind, that's why I will wait until my current engine packs up. I'm hoping it's a long way into the future.!! I would be interested to know what gearbox you have. ...

Sorry for the delay smiffo, Been working on van all day, hope these pics help, look where screw driver's pointing, on this one it's 8E. When it's in the van it will be on the left side. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a610/zxr750l1/002_zpsfnxbaydo.jpg http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a610/zxr...

[quote="Smiffo"]Brilliant reply there Aidan.


Where exactly is the code on the gearbox, so that I could check also?


If it helps smiffo,
I could take a pic of the whole gearbox on the bench, pointing out the code location.

Thanks again smiffo,
looks like the 4 lb lump hammer's coming out.

Hello, Please take a look at the image below. I need to find out if the bracket the early 4 speed shift rod went through is used on the later 5 speed set up? The bracket in question is above the fuel tank, towards the front. Thanks. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a610/zxr750l1/5a70250b-86f5-4e8...

Excellent, thanks for that pal.
Unfortunately I have the rubber flex hose, which I think goes into a bracket through a round hole and held in place with a fork type clip.
Very much appreciated the trouble you've gone to though mate.

PS
Excellent camera work there smiffo.

Here's some pics mm, I think an inner and outer skin will do it. I asked the original question because I thought it might of been neater but sounds like a lot of trouble. What panel make do you recommend for this job? http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a610/zxr750l1/door%20023_zpslmyv5mln.jpg http:...

Top man smiffo,
I could do with a pic of the flex pipe bracket, to see where it's located.
Thanks again for your help.

Thank's for that billy. Yes very tight against the coolant pipes. The van was originally a 1.6 CT, then converted to 2.0 CU. The gear box code is DK but it's cable clutch, others I've seen are hydraulic, were they made with both? I'm hoping to use the conduit that the cable ran through, for the copp...
