Finally, the gearbox is in.

The gearbox is finally back in the car. I started last night with the help of my son Michael fitting up the half shafts. Let me tell you that was a job in its self. We couldn't line up the right axle to the diff so we swapped to the left side and that went in OK. Then the right again, and with the diff now centered by the left axle we managed to get it fitted without much trouble.
Today we fitted the cross member, springs etc and put it up into the car. I was only able to get Alpine A110 axle straps which are about 40mm shorter than original however I was told by the supplier they are good with a car on 13 inch wheels. These shorter straps also gave trouble as the spring needs to be compressed further to fit the straps. Another replacement part that gave trouble were the side the mounts. The rubber is different and you can't get the nuts on easily because for the larger rubber fitted. However with the problems of fitting some of the parts its all completed now.

 All 3 mounts replaced.

 Spring compressed off the car then the inner tied with fencing wire 

to hold it and inner compressor removed prior to fitting.

 Spring compressor needed a helping hand.

 All together and ready to be fitted to the car.

Fitted in the car with some degree of difficulty.
