No, I haven't given up!

Anyone remember the old series 3 that i was restoring? Well, no i have not given up. It had just burned a small hole in my parent's bank account..... But today I've had a shipment of parts from the uk, i have some work to do on the 90, but i shall continue work on it soon! Should get some pictures up pretty soon.

happens a lot with restos, I think my bulkhead swap on the s3 took a year or so periods of inactivity are normal

Reassembled the old bus' gearbox today, all is going well so far!

besides, taking your time and having periods off would be in keeping with your forum name

over the last 4 years I've had stints of not working on it that last longer than the time i've actually worked on it.

Yea, that's pretty much how these sorts of things go, isn't it?

See my thread...last update before last nights: 2014!.

So, i've got a bit of a problem, and i DON'T want to push forward until this is cleared up.
Where the bloody hell did this washer come from???
I've managed to make sense of everything else BUT this washer.

Could someone also send me a diagram of the output from the gearbox with the gear that meshes to the transfer box middle set of gears?
Cheers

It looks like the spacer that fits with the locking washer under the main shaft nut.

Thanks for that, i sat down put my thinky face on, and figured it out a bit later, and what do you know!! the gearbox is nearly completely assembled!! i just have a few bits and bobs to finish off, but in the main it can hold some oil!

Holding oil is a bonus
