[QUOTE="andrew peters, post: 167431, member: 3776"] Thanks for the explanation Greg.. makes sense.. (of course I meant G49 not G59, numbers have been spinning in my head for days reading up on this) Now you’re mentioning the little sleeve that comes in the kit from Surtees, I have that and didn’t know what to do with it, there no mention of it in their Very basic installation instructions.. I guess they assume you know what you’re doing.. lol.. I originally thought it may fit on the end of the actuating arm as it seemed to fit in the slot of the G59 but that didn’t appear to be right.. I’m going to check the fit on the G49 later although I’m still going to use a new part when it arrives.. another “left over part “ in the Surtees kit is a small mushroom part, I’ve already used the rivet on the G59.. I can’t see where the other “rivet” goes..? I was aware of early and late versions of the Surtees 5 speed and I’m sure I thoroughly checked things as I went along, ensuring clearances etc.. I should say the kit is very good and well made, the instructions? Well not so good.. but gearbox rebuilds are not for novices l suppose… I’m very appreciative of being able to post a question on this forum and get so much helpful response. Thank you again I’m documenting my installation of the 5 speed and maybe I’ll continue with the clutch install (I’ve done that before though) I will make a “blog “ on this forum with pictures and hopefully I can share my (limited) experience. Most of my knowledge is accumulated from the forum and my books but I hope to be able to put it all in one place.. I’m no expert but I think I’ve learnt a lot and can share so less mistakes will be made by others .. [/QUOTE]
