So Rich, It looks like:
For the British and American old blokes, 29 7/8" x 1.000" I.D. x 1.125" O.D.
For the Europeans, the "on to it" old blokes, and young blokes, 758 mm x 25.4 mm I.D x 29 mm O.D.
The trick will be positioning the last two (of the four) holes, so that when the front and rear assemblies are both in neutral, everything lines up,and still goes full travel in each gear at both ends (gate and box)
I,m still not sure how smoothly this went in production. Do you tighten (or loosen) the tie back rods, or the engine mount bolts, to make it work?
Drawings showed that early carriers had an adjustment. It looks like a silly idea that would keep working loose (to me)Probably why it was gone before the U.C.
I am yet to assemble one to find out how it comes together.
