She won't be going to Ninove I don't think, I'll take the bus this time.
So after re-familiarising myself with the trillion parts I have floating around I managed to find the gear linkage bits and got the shifter in ready for the box. I'm not sure if I'll keep the old stock shifter but it'll do for the time being - it's all rebuilt with new bushings etc so at least its nice and precise rather than like stirring porridge.
Tonight, I wanted to test fit the gearbox to make sure the linkage was working right but before that I had some other bits to sort. Firstly and the easiest bit was a new reverse light switch...
My motor has a CAS in the way which means a bit of clearancing...
And a test fit later...
You might remember I'm converting to hydraulic clutch, well the cable retainer thing kinda impedes that plan so I also waved the grinder at that...
Surprised to find the casting wasn't solid at the base so there's a little job for my TIG welding friend.
Next will be to make a bracket for the other end of the master cylinder to attach to, so it sits a little bit like this...
The test fit was a success anyhow, all gears selectable and the gearbox didn't land on my face.
