Hi Mick,
Yes I hit the Ebay button on those gear box bits. there was about 20 hours to go and started to think I wouldn't find anything locally.
I have been in touch with Chippy over the phone. He was on the hunt for me too. Top hand that Chippy. Wasn't aware he had kicked up Maicos at Chippys.
Over the years he has helped both myself and Reg with our AW 250 restos. Well before it was a business
Thanks for help
Pete
