Paul @ Bears phoned me on Friday - he's managed to source one for £250.
Not a bad price i gues - i was going to get one from Martin for $400 (he had an OG one - not conversion one on the shelf)
Rob - gearbox is a funny one. Paul said it looked like it had a very recent rebuild and the internals were in great nick. however, the nose cone had a crack and had been welded but also the bore in it had become ovaled (same in the intermediate section) so didn't have a reference point to sleeve it.
Now he's got a nose cone to take a reference from he can sleeve the intermediate section and put it all back together.
Fingers crossed he'l have it ready for me by wednesday morning. I'l give you a bell on monday re engine.
Cheers
Deano
