Taran Las Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 While reinstalling the engine and box the speedo drive fell out and landed on the floor. (Only noticed after the whole lot was in place and bolted up). Can anyone tell me how the angle drive is secured to the box extension? The drive in the box appears to be held on with a circlip but I can't for the life of me determine how the angle drive stays put. Type 9 box. Thanks in anticipation. Phil Owen.

kenny. Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Make sure the base plate has not broken off and is still in aperture. I scratched my head for a couple of hours once with this wondering how to secure it. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taran Las Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 Thanks Kenny, From what you've said - I take it the base plate is attached to the 90 degree drive and is secured by the circlip? If this is the case I've broken the base plate off. I'll try and take the circlip out tomorrow. Thanks again Phil Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny. Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 The earlier ones had the base plate tacked very flimsily to the drive and would just detatch themselves........good luck, hope you sort it. Kenny PS prepare to butcher some circlip pliers to fit, as extracting and re-fitting that bloody clip is the hardest job to do in the world........bet you swear a bit, I'm told I did.

Taran Las Posted March 30, 2002 Author Share Posted March 30, 2002 Kenny, I'm going to have a go tomorrow (its supposed to rain then)- as I live up in the hills in Wales - you might just hear me swear! blush.gif Thanks for the advice.
