Photobucket pictures from now on. hope the quality is ok.
So here is the 1st motion shaft drive gear fitted with the tab washer and nut done up but only hand tight for now.



Next bit is to install the layshaft.



Place the small bearings in the ends.



I placed the spacer washer in the box and slid the shaft in a wee bit to hold it in place while i lined up the layshaft. the end with the slot cut into it goes in first.



Then I pushed the shaft through the gears and fitted the smaller spacer washer to the other end. This is the bit where you will be glad you didnt fit the bolts to the oil pick up cage!



So thats it for today. Its nearly done now. The pile of bits has shrunk a lot. Hope there is nothing left once ive finnished!!

So far im just building this box for fun. I was not sure I could do a gearbox build.
Im waiting for my other engine block and head to come back from the machinists. 1380, Skimmed 10 thou for higher compression ratio, the head is being ported and the chambers are being polished, head and block mated for a perfect fit, its an MG metro engine so not going to increase the valve size, Fast road cam, hoping for 100bhp,
Once its back keep watching this thread because im going to build it on here, same as the box, with lots of pictures,
