I would lock the tbx and get rid of the hydrolic system. Mike hayward sells the kits via ctor, i've fitted some and they are a doddle to do.

Good work mate, shame some people have been negative, this is a project thread after all, i'm sure improvments will come. Can the floor be modified to allow the tbx to line up better? prop looks a bit awkward, but i'm sure you know!

i would love to do this with my nova, but with a narrower rear setup...from something?....

get plenty pics of your progress up!

thanks mate!
i have looked in to that mate but i thought as long as i do oil changes often it should be ok, i thought the week part was the input shaft?
to take the transfer box up more i would have 2 cut in to the bulk head then box it in, then the gear selector wouldn't fit and one would have to be made

i did make sure the props turning fine and it does so im sure it will be fine
