Dear Paul:
I admire your engineering!
One of these days I want to travel to your country, buy one those cool chop
top Morris coupes I have seen you build in photos and go on a drive about.
I want to put on a train to cross the country and then bring it home on a
boat. My version of a car-safari...
After thirty years of dodgy gearboxes I decided to face one of my fears...
My son Austin read from the book while I took apart a smooth case. We even
had a blow up of the diagram from the service manual. It all went like clock
work. So I took another apart on my own... Last night I dreamed about the
re- assembly only 205 parts I think I can manage it.
My last gear boxes fiasco went like this: I was chasing parts for someone I
thought was a friend. He was rebuilding one at his shop for his customer & he
agreed to rebuild 2 gear boxes for me as well. I would have to track down
the parts for my boxes too.
He finished his Job for his customer. One week later he handed the two gear
boxes back, apart in a box, charged me for disassembly and said he had no
time to put them back together. I was pissed to say the least...
It was suggested to me that he had built one box out three using my boxes
for the bits he needed?
I decided I would rather screw it up my self than be cheated.
We are having a transmission party and I have a few old timers dropping by
who have done it before. This fiasco should end up being fun.
Good luck with the E-bay sale
