Paul @ Bears phoned me on Friday - he's managed to source one for £250.
Not a bad price i gues - i was going to get one from Martin for $400 (he had an OG one - not conversion one on the shelf) Rob - gearbox is a funny one. Paul said it looked like it had a very recent rebuild and the internals were in great nick. however, the nose cone had a crack and had been welded but also the bore in it had become ovaled (same in the intermediate section) so didn't have a reference point to sleeve it. Now he's got a nose cone to take a reference from he can sleeve the intermediate section and put it all back together. Fingers crossed he'l have it ready for me by wednesday morning. I'l give you a bell on monday re engine. Cheers Deano |

Here in North America they are known as a "linch pin" or "PTO pin". They're simply a locking pin with wire retainer. I've been meaning to do mine since I built the car...one day I'll get to it!

I got mine from VW heritage- simple idea but make life so easy! couple that with a removable rear valance and Hi Pac access panels - engine removal is a breeze!
ive seen some people make their whole rear end removable but im really not a fan of chopping the rear body work around THAT much. |

I prefer quick-release "Pip" pins. The ones I used are 1/4" x 3".
