I am still here. So is my car

Of more interest, though, is that a positive update will be forthcoming soon.

Cheers!
Glen

Here's the gearbox and scattershield temporarily mated.

Currently waiting on a new clutch plate, as the item for the Toploader doesn't have the same spline as the input shaft on the TKX. Parts for 'unusual' cars are not available at the corner store here.

After clutch plate arrival, we can fit the exhaust primaries to the engine, as well as the scattershield, and then fit this 'unit' to the car. Then easy fit of the gearbox.

More when it happens

Cheers!

Glen,

Thy look great together! Pretty soon they will be nestled where they belong and will be transferring the power to the rear wheels.

So.... I have 2 gearboxes - a Toploader and a TKX, and only the TKX will fit my chassis.
That means I have a Toploader - rebuilt by David kee's Australian agent - that needs a new home

There it is below...

It was my gearbox of choice, but I can't get away from the fact that it won't fit in my tunnel. So.... reluctantly, I'm looking for a new home for it.

If you know of anyone (ideally, in Australia) who would appreciate it as much as I had hoped to.... let me know

Cheers!
Glen
