Build Diary - 17th July 2005
|
Spent the whole afternoon today cleaning 15yrs worth of muck off the gearbox. Used 2 cans of Mr Muscle oven cleaner and 3 cans of carb cleaner! Eventually it looked like this! |
|
The gear lever on the type 9 is too far forward when fitted to a 7'esque car like the Tiger, it would come out somewhere under the dash board. To overcome this problem I am fitting a 'westfield' type remote gearlever assy. The first step is to remove the std gearlever and then remove the reverse stop from the gearbox. This is a small piece of metal about an inch long that slides into the right hand side of the selector assy. This is simply knocked out with a chisel, the pic of the left shows it after its removed. |

The gear lever is then fitted to the remote. |

Then the remote is fitted to the gearbox. |
