New oil plug

When the gearbox is flipped upside down the air valve must be plugged. I realized that the little steel tube holding the air cap was not very difficult to rip of or knock into the housing. Not good. So I solved it by threading the hole with a standard M12 tap, made a new tube with an oversized M12 thread in one end and a smooth 12 mm dia in the other, with a cut for a large screwdriver. I filled the thread with black silicone and worked the tube into the hole. It will NOT get away from there.

To make services easier I mounted a plumbers valve. It's the high qually brand Ballofix and I happen to know that they survives decades of oil abuse. Now it's just a dust cap left and I can change oil with racing style... :-)

Gear box trimmer

Back to the T25 gearbox conversion. Finally!
Too much work this winter has affected my van projects very negative. But it is time to plug those thumbs out from the arse and make things now, the snow is gone - time for camping!

I need to cut down the bellhousing 15 mm to make the adapter fit as engineered. Tim (my English e-mail buddy) has made a table where he puts the box standin straight up. I am going another route. I made a swing arm.

Lathe/mill work to make a centre axle that fits on the gear box axle.

Welded on the swing bar.

Lathe/mill work to make a slider for the router.

Tadaa!
