daverclasper Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Very well done Pete and Paula. I had to refit my O/D box on my own. Looked at it for half an hour whilst chain smoking to pluck up the courage. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted September 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 It's a bit juddery if i pull off slowly. I've convinced myself it's just the clutch 'bedding in' I really hope i haven't bought a duff one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 give the clutch an italian tune up like some long slip times in a high gear under power if it catches fire you have over done it enough for a good pong is acceptable but it will need some use to reduce the feathering lining of newness pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I spent the day doing a proper job of fitting the gearbox cover with new seals and aluminium duct tape. I then turned my attention towards the door catch that has always allowed the door fly open occasionally. I found that the spring had broken, but managed to make the remains of it fit again with a bit of bending. Job done! i then realised that for the first time since I’ve had him, everything works! I wonder how long that will last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just now, Pete Lewis said: was that the hoop/circular springy thing ? 1600 with a Cat thats different Pete Yes. it had snapped and both halves were in the bottom of the door. i bent the end of the biggest bit to fit into the original hole. the whole mechanism can be taken out of the door after removing the door card.
