C15A Restoration

[John Stokes]

Hi All,Today i rebuilt the carby,fitted up the winch handbrake assy and best of all fitted the gearbox i had rebuilt after work each night during the week.All went together like a dream and best of all i have all 4 gears and 1 reverse.I visited a place in Surrey hills called Power Train Products as most of you have heard of.There Brett the third generation manager helped me no end to find new gears and parts for the gearbox i was to rebuild.Just to give you an idea i asked Brett how many new input shafts he had on the shelf which his answer there were 8 left.Very helpful indeed i wish new old stock parts were that easy to come by.With the shifter being sloppy all i had to do was tap out the locating pins at the top 5/16 x 3/16 turn up some new ones out of 5/16 silver steel and 680 locktite the 3/16 dia back into the housing good as new.Tomorrow i will clean the tx box and prepare it for bearings and seals and what ever else it needs,also i hope to put all the bolt on parts back on the engine ready to fire when the radiator returns from it's makeover next week.Thanks for all the assistance for my rebuild,this forum is very helpful indeed.
