2.5 close ratio gearbox

PostPost by: promotor » Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:30 pm

Has anybody got any photos of a genuine Lotus 2.5:1 close-ratio gearkit - with the gears not assembled on the mainshaft - that they could share on here please?

It'd be a great help if somebody could help me out.

Cheers.

Al - this is a picture I took when rebuilding the CR gearbox from my 65 Seven. I was taking a spare box apart for cleaning/sorting at the same time. I'm pretty certain the CR set is the bottom set, bit need to count teeth to confirm.

Not sure if this is what you need, but if something else I can search through my pictures of disassembly and reassembly.

Henry,

What can I say other than that's exactly what I needed and thank you very much! For some reason, of the 2.5 gearboxes I've done I've not taken a photo of all the parts disassembled and displayed like that.

I wanted to confirm I wasn't going mad as someone has brought me a gearbox to assemble and it doesn't have all of the correct gears - I needed to show them that I wasn't talking nonsense but didn't have a comparison!

As you say, the CR box is the bottom one of the two.

Kind regards.

Al / Ron
