Location: Tebworth		Looks very nice.

There's a further mod to the selector mechanism which replaces the linkage part in pic 004 with the UJ from a steering column - makes the gear change even more positive.

Does not need machining since the outer race of the bearing is the same. You can drill and tap 2 holes to take the patch lock though if you like but its not really a machine shop job.

Location: Cornwall		i didnt bother with the 2 holes, asumed it wasnt really needed as the other box didnt have it, had no problem from it yet.

built the box myself at home.

Couldn't agree with this more. This mod makes the PG1 gearchange absolutely awesome and is really easy to do.

i know that the barings are the same but where the plate bolts to hold th bearing in place sits too high so just having these taken down a bit to where they should be

Looking good Daz. I've had bad experiences with those particular oil seals though - the one seemed fairly loose in the hole and it never sealed when the driveshaft went in + they are difficult to get dead square without the 'outer protection ring' hope you don't get the same issues.
