Final mock up of the gearbox today. Just some minor machining to finish off with the set up and it will be assembly time soon I hope. 442428880_1736742623401718_3291596502536342195_n.jpg 442017292_766310398984464_2473023587696503740_n.jpg 441218279_935753335016106_8210548940196260868_n.jpg 442405176...

A bit of modification work to the new flywheel to get it to fit the crankshaft as well as fitment of the damper plate. Flywheel housing mounting for the gearbox is next in progress. 439856348_726096976116380_8824081222750821216_n.jpg 439477298_418955844192146_6026559135191856731_n.jpg 440054776_1491...
