Thanks All for your comments. I managed to get one from the Distributor Doctor who had an old Delco unit. Also he is only 15 minutes away!

Thanks Pete

Thanks Colin

Hi Does anyone know where the above can be found/obtained? Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you both for your replies. KevinR so the bracket is attached to a stud, where the exhaust attaches to the manifold?

Hi, can anyone supply pictures of how the above is attached? My MKIV came with one and the bracket is also missing. Apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks Barry

Thanks to you all for the advice

Hi Badwolf Thanks for the information and the link. I couple of my straps are quite stretched, so will have to estimate the length allowing for that. Barry

Hi Badwolf I want to do the webbing myself as much cheaper. A couple of questions if you don’t mind? 1 - Can you recall where you got the webbing from? 2 - How did you gauge what length to make each one allowing for stretch etc? Thanks Barry

Thanks Colin

Thanks Pete

Hi What is the difference between ‘standard’ and ‘standard and Associate’ membership? Thanks Barry

Many thanks for the advice Pete Hopefully raising the gearbox, will give me enough access to avoid having to disconnect the prop from the diff...

Hi Colin Many thanks for the advice. It looks like I’ll be a jacking up the gearbox etc. I was planning to replace the engine mounts which are showing signs of perishing so this would seem an ideal opportunity.

Hi Would really appreciate some advice..... Have disconnected the prop shaft and moved it out of the way, as much as I can. Can just with some difficulty get the socket on, but there is no way I can then get a socket wrench on! Any advice as to how to manage this would be appreciated. Would shortening the socket be viable? A previous post made reference to undoing the rear gearbox mount and engine mount bolts.....which if need be I’d like to avoid doing but it needs must! Thanks Barry

Hi Hag, thanks for the advice

Thanks Pete I saw you making reference to this site in a previous post and had already had a look. Your guidance is greatly appreciated Barry

Thanks Johny and Pete I was planning to utilise the old bolts, holes a bar to hold the flange still.

Thanks Paul

What size socket is the output flange nut? Having got the overdrive working on my MKIV, whilst taking it for a test drive with the gearbox tunnel still removed, revealed a leaking oil seal as described above. Thanks Barry

Thanks for the advice Pete.....just need to source a thin 1inch spanner....

Hi Peter Colin very kindly provided a picture and explanation of how he’d wired his. So going to rewire utilising the reversing light circuit. With the current wiring set-up the solenoid on mine does click so I can only assume that this has always been the case. So now planning to clean out filters in the overdrive sump and hope that solves it. It also looks like has been a leak from the gearbox sump nut so lack of pressure/ not enough oil maybe a cause. If that doesn’t work.....back to the drawing boards

Sorry for the delay in reply, thought I had..... wire is from 12 volt side of ballast resistor. With the help of another member I have solved the issue. Thanks Barry

Hi Colin Thank you for your reply. So you’ve used the feed from the reversing light circuit to power the solenoid etc? Barry

Hi Thanks for your reply. Please see my reply to Pete. There are some green wires and red bundled together see photo. thanks Barry
