I must comment that the TT one I built and fitted seems ok to me,but reverse gear means the lever throw has to go a very long way back to engage. I noticed this when I was moving around at msva place. It could probably be adjusted or designed to give less of a 'throw' but Im not bothered about it tho' cos I will rarely be using reverse.(at least it cant be mistakenly engaged cos its too close to forward gears!)

After a very hectic period of work activity, I am back at it! We have managed to get the drive shafts out and clean up the rear axle a little, and have built a build trailer this weekend. I have ditched the remote gear change, just could not get it to work reliably, so I'm going to look at the TT design as RODeo has suggested. Anyway here are some pics of the build trailer  |

Here are a couple more.
The lines are at 250 mm intervals. I have painted one side of the tape out so I always measure from the correct edge, cos I just know otherwise I'll measure from the wrong side and screw mess something up.
Cleaning up the leaf springs now and fitting new bushes etc ( I know - its a soft tail, has to be for SWMBO's neck as she has false disks in there) - Will put up a before and after pic once one is done.

We have made some progress. Have layed out some of the frame and tacked it up, and cleaned out the inside of the proposed tank. The tank we bought was full of rust so we made this "tank rotissary". A few hours with it part filled with water and shingle from shmbo garden, and its nice and clean inside now.

Here is a pic of the started frame. We did some more since this but no pics yet. The grid laid on the build frame has been a great idea, as I can check dimensions easily with a set square off the grid.
