Nice build! If I were you I would look at how the rear wishbones are fixed to the gearbox. Luke and I use a through bolt arrangement to clamp it all together. I did this by getting some 3mm steel bar and cutting a thread on each end then a nyloc nut either side, see below:

:thumbsup:

Thanks dazzieboy I'll look into that

I'm in need of some help I've for some stupid reason I sold my layshaft pulleys :mad: I thought I had some more and I've been searching and I can't find any. So if anyone has any I'm in need of some please let me know.

Thanks

If you can get hold of some Robbe M3x70mm bolts they are ideal for the rear wishbone brackets. They seem stronger than stainless steel too.

Thanks Luke where did you get those from? And I don't suppose you have any layshaft pullys going spare do you.

Sorry, no layshaft pulleys I'm afraid.

I original found the bolts doing an internet search but they seem rarer now.

Try these on eBay 380752939988 or 261449629620

Thanks Luke I'll see what I can find. As for layshaft pullys I've been speaking to gomachv about the slipper shaft that he is makeing and it looks like the standerd one will not be required anyway. It sounds very good but I'm going to have to wait for one of those.

Post man bought me some goodies from New York today they came in the biggest box I've ever seen for a couple of belts

I think you all can see where I'm heading with this I just need a couple of bits now and then well be good to go :thumbsup:

Have you got a part number for the layshaft pulleys?

The part number should be T or U278 they are 21t pulleys

Had a few more bits arrive today

I can't believe I found one of these that's never been fitted just needs a bit of a clean. Not sure wether or not to strip it to bear metal and polish it up

Its a complete alloy gearbox housing no plastic cover needed

That Wasp rear gearbox is sweet. The holy grade of alloy upgrades!

It's a MMS one and it's only just come out of the pack for the pics and the best part it was only 45 euros bargin for saying it's a total enclosure.

Just seen one on ebay complete car, what are they worth in good condition?

It depends on what it is or has have you got a link or item number?

It's been a while and I haven't really had time to get much done in ways of the Procat it's just sat on the shelf at the min with the impending house move. But I have been thinking about what I am going to do with it in ways of getting it running.

I have already got some bits for the 6mm belt conversion and today I ordered my alloy front diff hangers so it's got to come to bits again anyway. But I keep looking at the MMS Alloy gearbox I have found and am thinking of taking off my custom side plates and fitting that anyone with an opinion feel free to wade in.

I've also come across a couple of NIP MMS layshafts and was thinking of taking the fences off the middle to use that with the 6mm belt. Do people think that the wasp slipper would be up to the job or not?

Any advice or opinions are welcome

So the MMS gearbox was a bit tarnished from the years spent stored in the bag so I took it apart today to give it a bit of a clean up

These must of taken ages to machine out of one price of alloy and for £50 even BITD they can't of made much money on them.

More goodies will get some up for sale soon :thumbsup:
