Evening All,
The gear shift lever is now attached to the chassis and connected to the gearbox, it all seems to operate smoothly.

The next question was what to do with the shift lever knob either the original Jaguar sports look, a furry bunnies head or something more Germanic, obviously the bunnies head won, not really.
Two images from surviving tanks , the knob on the right hand image is not, as far as I can ascertain, original

I think the knob would have been Bakelite but I haven't got one so I decided to make from steel.
Under the knob there is a thing ( I don't know what to call it) that you lift in order to release the shift lever, enabling you to change gear. I forgot to take any pictures of it as I made it.

Evening All,
I have been trying to move swiftly on but life keeps getting in the way. I have managed to make adapter plate from the steering box to the drive shaft and the drive shaft.

It took a lot of welding and fiddling to get it right and then a good few hours grinding but in the end they didn't look too bad.
