Hi Colin,

Very, very impressive work there. Is there any particular reason to fabricate the new transmission case from steel rather than from an aluminium alloy as per the original? I know that aluminium alloy does cost a bit more than steel, but is there another reason? Structural strength and integrity or just using what's on hand?

All that said, I'm in awe of your work and the lenghts you are going to with your restoration. As has been mentioned previously, most wouldn't be so bold to tackle such a mammoth undertaking, with what most would consider to only be scrap.

Following your progress with great interest.
