Pulled the box out today, all but down to a fine art these days haha.
Hasn't stripped splines off 5th but instead has pushed the circlip off the end of the countershaft and with it the engaging gear. New bearings and upgraded mainshaft along with new selector detents and 1st/2nd fork it should be right to rock.
Also found the source of my whine, front counter bearing had gone through hardening so it would have faily at some point.
Parts from Japan showed up today for the gearbox after the couple of week wait.
Started boxing the fridge in.
Left hand gaurd has been trimmed but needs quarter cut due to rust (plates just arrived).
Have hifill and paint to touch up and paint the quarters.
Radius spacers and bumpstops are there and ready to fit after snapping 3 of 4 bump stop bolts on removal.
Ready to mount the second battery and BCDC charger in the rear.
After all this i can hopefully go bush again.
Nice gq mate, looks good
Gearbox fixed and back in. Rust cut and plated in one side. Time consuming shit.
Getting out tomorrow in primer as i am hanging to go for a play.
Coming along nicely mate.
Ran sweet yesty. Which was good. Fun day out.
Rear diff shits me to tears. Horrible to drive on the road. 0.7mm shim was a lousy choice.
Finally after 4 months I have fitted my second bettery and charger. Dam does time get away from me!!
Heading up the Murray for 4 days this weekend to finally enjoy the car and relax.
Cheers.
