Thanks to Neil for taking my old box up to Warrington asap (and donating your old broken driveshaft* to the cause
)Aidan for advice and support at all times and sending badly needed (unexpected) parts for new box quicktime too
Pete & Sharon for lots of things, including putting us up, storage and helping strip the new truck down.
Andy Mc for helping get the engine & box out quickly
Melly (over the road) for loaning tools, getting spares 'n oil and a nice g/box cradle*
My bro for letting me use his yard (with a concrete slab, a lifesaver after years of gravel surfaces)
Oh yes, the AA for a great 3-way Relay back from Wales
Must be someone else I've forgooten.. ? Oh yes, Jenny xxx
*Adapted a landrover gbox cradle with a few threaded holes, grub screws and a 4" length form Neils old driveshaft to fit my trolley jack... easiest I've ever slid a transaxle in to a Syncro (but it was on concrete this time)
=========
PS. Aidan has now reported on my original box I broke at SP, seems it just has a bent selector fork, making 'R' drone a bit and preventing 'G' selection. Seems to think it might have been half in and out of gear when I dumped the clutch rolling backwards. Lucky, could have been a lot worse..
Duh! Will be more careful in future
