Freezing them makes them contract.

I managed to get them in . Now I've got to put the gearbox on but waiting for a mate to lend a hand , i attempted last night with a trolly jack but i'd be dammed if i can mate them together

Then the engine can finally go in!

Jason04r · 08-10-13, 03:28 PM

Can some confirm that its 3 bolts for the left hand side and 2 start motor bolts which hold the gearbox on

Anyone tell me what these are for?

I asked the supplier to include the gearbox bolts and these came with them

They look like the 2 washers that go each side of the bush on the gear change steady bar.

Ah Jolly good.

Pete, there's 3 bolts on the left side of the gearbox and the two starter motor bolts. Would you know if that correct as my haynes or workshop manual don't state it. Looking all around there's no other places to bolt up. Seems strange that the only thing keeping the right side on is the dowel and start motor bolts up top.

Gracias
