hi guys,
john i think my gearbox is the bullet type? looking at the lotus workshop manual it appears to be the original box, do you fellas know where i can find out for definite? is there some identifying mark or a stamp somewhere?
it has a pressed steel plate on the top with what i assume to be a reversing light switch sticking out of it on the top of the box. i have spoken to Paul at dunnell engines he quoted me a price for a lightweight flywheel, clutch cover and clutch plate.
i won,t be ordering the parts until i can find out for sure what gearbox i have. just to explain i told dunnells that i think i have the original box.
on another track i have read that i need a starter motor from a pinto engine, does anyone know if there is only one type fitted? my bell housing is made for the starter to fit on the drivers side away from the exhaust.
