You're star mate- I did mention about the box to James a couple of days ago; I hoped it might last to the summer didn't though hey lol
I'll PM James a bit later mate.
Thank you

I think ive still got one off the 854 i broke at Nads place late last year, the engine was sold but not the box so in theory it should still be there, just spoken to Shaz and he's going to check for me so if its there it's yours mate just a few beers when we next meet, if this falls through could someone in the Yorkshire area take Jason up on his kind offer and get the box off and to me and me and Smithy can sort the rest. Will have to make a plan on getting it fitted either we come down to the south coast if anyone has anywhere we can use for an afternoon?? or you come to the midlands.

I've got a workshop in Southampton. Not a huge amount of room, but probably enough. Failing that there's always outside my workshop if it's not p!ssing down!

I'd be more than happy to let you guys use that if you need somewhere down this way to do the swap. I'd offer to help change it, but I'd be about as much use as t!ts on a fish in that department!!

I'll do anything I can to help mate.

Also, Jerry I'll ask around see if I know anyone with a spare M56, just in case.

Hi Jim, at this rate I'll have to buy a brewery for you guys lol this yet another example of what a good bunch of folk are on this forum. Thank you.
Meant to PM you earlier about it, sorry mate.
The only fly in the ointment at the mo is me getting enough cash together to make the travel back (hopefully the car will make it)- I'll get that sorted as soon as I can though and keep you posted.
Happy to come to the Midlands, to save you guys travelling as you're being kind enough to fit it for me.
Will I need to get a clutch too? I guess it'd be sensible to replace it at the same time wouldn't it? That could delay things a bit

Once again thanks to everyone, it looks like the Shed will be fixed again soon!

I hope I can get back before then mate! Not that I don't want to meet up (I'm being polite lol), just need to get the Shed sorted asap.

I hope I can get back before then mate!

i did think that but thought i'd let you know anyway mate

[JUDGENINJA]

Could you get to Saclay(SW Paris)at all?

I'm there every three months, due to be there in March some time.

I could do mate- it's getting hold of the parts that could be difficult, unless you can bring them with you? Shipping of bits from the UK is mighty expensive.


EDIT: apologies to all, my thanking button has gone awol again...wondered why my wrist was aching lol

Has anyone got a gearbox sorted for definite? A friend of mine 'might' have one available towards the end of the month that we can get hold of.

I'm still waiting to hear from James about a possible replacement Chris.
So nothing as yet. So, the 'might' option could be good!

[Jamest5r]

Ok, found a gearbox lurking in a dark corner, however it's got no bloody sticker on it, how can identify what it is for obvious reasons.

[Jamest5r]

Anyone?, any codes stamped on somewhere under the dirt??.

If no one comes up with anything, I'll contact Rufe tomorrow and see if he has any info mate.
