got a box in the end from Tris (Thanks M8,

) who is breaking a 2.5 RHD CJ7 so straight swap for the current one

yea no such luck, nothing wrong with the new box and even got the old one off easy enough in well under an hour, only problem was the 2 bolts that sheared off in the chassis leg. one is out after a couple of hours but the other is playing silly buggers, not enough for my stud extractor to grip on so now resorted to grinding it flush and have started drilling it but that meant dropping the front leaf spring to get room for the drill, going to try and re-tap it but if that fails have the heli coils waiting.

finished for the day now, cant see in my shed for tools i need

but got all day tomorrow in the nice heated workshop to finish it, just need to get and fit a clutch before friday so we have a jeep for the Turkey Hunt
