My work here is done.
Next stop for me - mapping. I will be in attendance for this.
In the meantime @Tom Johnson will be working on the install, so I’m happy to keep this updated if you guys are wanting to see the progress.
Honestly mate, I’d love to know who designs these things. That way I could shake them warmly by the throat.
There’s been some extremely testing parts of this build mate, I’m not going to deny. But despite those moments, I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Yeah seen the pm buddy 👍🏻 I’ll reply later on as I’ve been flat out busy the last few days.
Yeah I’m meaning internal mate, but it may be the reverse gear idler is worn. They have a bush in them that wears, so it may be that making a noise when the gear is engaged.
Drop the oil and see what the oil colour is buddy. That’s the best indication of a bearing failure. Particles galore and...
