So I finally got the gearbox home today, it’s taken 8 months since it was bought on eBay in the USA to make its way down to Australia along the way it’s doubled in cost, but this still worked out at way way cheaper than a locally sourced unit.

The first small drama in the chassis fabrication process has shown up too, in that the tubes I had bent for the floor have ended up being roughly 1/2″ out at one end and some judicious tweaking will have to occur to get them back to the plan.
