Glen,

What a wonderful sight to see.

Looks like some plumbing and wiring to do, then figure out how best to mount the shifter.

Any fitment issues with the drive shaft?

Getting closer every day, keep up the great work!

Greetings Tim. Yes, it's been in for awhile now, but the hoist was up, so no pictures available until recently.

Drive shaft? Minor one; the flange was to suit a similar diff to mine but the hole pcd was slightly different. So, set it up on their mill, and machine some new holes. That the drive shaft was quite an easy fit has me still scratching my head about the shifter location. Time to get over that one, yes?

A start on wiring is imminent; lucky it is such a simple setup with no ancillaries. Rather than use the supplied loom, will go with a new loom made from scratch; fitting it should then be very easy and fast

Cheers!
Glen

Glen,

Congratulations and it is looking great! I wish I could help you with the shifter location issue, but I have no experience or knowledge with that transmission. I hope that it gets solved soon. Bye the way, you may want to tighten up that fan belt, it looks a little loose...

Wow, it looks wonderful. Yes, absolutely wonderful.

That's lovely, Patrick. Thank you.
Trouble is - and don't take this too personally - I still don't know, after all these years, whether to take you seriously or not

Cheers!

Hi Glen,

Great to see you're progress. If you are having trouble with your shifter check out Core shifters in the US. They have the mechanism to utilize the different openings in the Tremec transmissions. They have a range of Hurst levers or you could probably adapt your existing lever to their shifter. I have one in my Cobra and the location and positive short throw is excellent.

Cheers Richard

Greetings all.
I added a lengthy post yesterday updating my - OK, slow - progress….. and I look today and it’s not there in my build log ….but …..it shows up in the Build Logs listing that I did actually add a post yesterday. Is this just another ‘glitch’ in the system?
Cheers,
