With having my blocks just at the right height it all went in like I had planned for a change.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
This afternoon (Tuesday 24the Aug) I fitted the gear linkage bits in the clutch case housing - it was not too fiddly in the end just hope the gears work okay.
I'm forever removing dog hairs that seem to blow in - need to use a cardboard box to cover up the engine rather than a clean(ish) old towel.
Out of interest is it possible for me to test the gear selection as the top wheel rotated as I tightened the bolt and it is now in a gear?
It would be good to know that the selection system works presumably I will have to fit the nearside cover and connect the gear shift?

You can try gear selection and put it back in neutral without putting the left hand cover on. Clamp a mole grip on the gearchange shaft and change gears with that. Don't damage the splines though. 🙂

I've pinched this photo off of a FB page as someone was asking the same question the other day and I haven't got one of my own photos to hand.
Lift the arm marked red above the spot marked green, turn the shaft too and fro whilst selecting the gears.

When you say turn the shaft to & fro do you mean the top wheel that is the selector drum?
