So been getting a few things sorted for the manwell conversion. Cleaned up the rust off my flywheel bolts and sprayed them with CRC in a snaplock bag, Bart also took my flywheel in to get machined(chur Bart!). Also on Bart's recommendations I have taken out the front and rear seals from my gearbox and the speedo drive o-ring to be replaced with new ones. Finally managed to get some 910 front springs from Skutaman to lower the front but they are a bigger diameter than the R30 springs :/ I may just cut the ones I have and reshape the end, depending on how much time and $$ I have left before the Akaroa cruise. So far I've dropped out the driveshaft and made a start on dropping the gearbox things are happening!

From memory there is a roll pin that you knock out then you can pull the shaft out and it's inside the housing.

Yeah had a gander this arvo, will need to find a very small punch to tap that out!

And that seal leaks like a bitch when it wants to as well, I think it's a cup shaped one. I've got punches, can head around Friday after work with some springs for you to try too if you want.

Tidied up my gear stick as it looks like at some point the rod has been been bent a bit and the threaded part welded back on. Also re-chromed it because I could(although not for long)
Saw Brock this afternoon and got a new clutch slave, spigot bush and front and rear gearbox seals. Will have to got to Saeco for the speedo drive o-ring and seal.
One slight issue I've encountered though is the new slave doesn't come with a pin to engage the clutch fork, I thought that the one from the R30 I wrecked would have one but nope not even a boot so anyone got an old slave cylinder lying around I can pinch the pin off??
