Just out of interest we were looking at the "correct" way around that the top of the gearbox should go. It seems that the lugs can be on the left hand side, so there is no need to cut them off, and they should not interfere with the angle bracket for the spring plunger for reverse as well. When assembled you can bench test through all gears , just to make sure the arm over the top of the gearbox does not hit your filler plug , there should be 1/2" clearance. I have also seen a gearbox with the filler plug on the other side as well, so no issues there with interference. Cheers Andrew.
