Gear box
The gearbox was one thing that I did not have to worry about too much. About 12 years ago I did a swap deal with Alan N. in SA. His part of the deal was to completely rebuild the gearbox for me. That rebuild involved new bearings, seals etc. His gain was a quantity of Avro Anson gauges and other parts for the one he had ideas of assembling.
The gearbox is only found on the Ford Lynx Scout Car. It has standard Ford Blitz gears but the housing is completely different in that the gate is on the side not the top as in a Ford Blitz. This is linked with rods to the fulcrum mid way along the chassis to change a pull to a push and vis-versa.
Regards Rick.
