Subject: Re: ENV 110 Gearbox
Hello Colin,
I must say that I am impressed with the speed of your project.
My gearbox was reconditioned by C or G Whitehouse back in the 1970’s and touch wood it is still going strong.
They advertise in the back of THE AUTOMOBILE but for the life of me I have misplaced my copy.
I don’t think they are cheap, but they have being going for some time now so I guess that speaks for itself.
By the way, have you looked inside a ENV 110 gearbox? it looks terrifying but once fully understood it is actually not so complex and other than bands wearing out it is only really springs that will need replacing if they are past the adjustment point of no return.
I don't know how old or bad your box is, but it might only need a good clean, new oil and adjustment (probably new bands as well).
Anyway, good luck and look forward to seeing you at the AGM
Best Regards
Chris
