Progress Report on Rattling Chain
Weighing it all up I bought a low mileage S/H transfer box and had the local garage fit it. All in £200. I thought that was cheap as chips so I can now hear the exhausts without the tinny sound. Will take the casing off next weekend on the old transfer case and show how baggy it was so info can be shared.
