Re: Midget 1500 gearbox vs Spitfire gearbox

There wasn't much of a response to this from I can see (not being on the 
Spitfires list).

Out of interest I did a bit of digging around on this issue.  It seems that 
the boxes are similar but some boxes have a proper seal on one of the shafts 
(main?) whereas some have a scroll (bad?).

However, a trip to my local breakers yard that still has a Spitfire in it 
from a while back has a box that looked different from the 1500 box in my 
Spridget Haynes manual - so what gives?
