The modern day shift rod couplings fall apart after a while The trick is to use the original housing and fixings and the modern bushings
Yeah it did sound like you were struggling a little as you headed towards sheepwash. Easy fix at least give me a shout if you fancy a shakedown run and need a support vehicle Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Nothing fell apart just the little screw loose which joins the middle long shaft to the gearbox nose cone and should have been wirelocked, all the parts are original but, cleaned up except of course the bushings and the cage that joins to the nose cone. I have modified that part so hopefully it wont fall apart in the future, fingers crossed
Thanks I will bear it in mind however, I am away doing the Everest Base Camp trek from Thursday for 2 weeks so the bus will have to take back seat so to speak!
Just had this delivered it certainly looks like a superb bit of kit and very well made but, it will have to wait until I get back now, shame!
Managed this last two weeks to sort out the fuel issues, changed the "new but, not working" fuel pump for a Huco one and its flying now, also changed the relay mechanism to one with a timer to prime the system when the ignition is on for a few seconds before I start the engine. Only problem is I am not sure that side of it is working. I have double checked the wiring and its connected correctly but, the pump only seems to run when I start the engine, so maybe the relay is kaput. Also I installed an inertia switch to cut fuel in a collision which works brilliantly. Finally, the new gear lever from Trafficox is installed and working brilliantly, gear selection is easier, quicker and not like stirring custard anymore, its a joy to change gear now, I can highly recommend them.
