Jeez Ray, and I remember when you didn't even have a proper set of 
tools.  Well done.

I guess you could argue that you have plenty of tools now....  Me, 
Kieran, Mark, and dozens of others.  ;-)

They made some revisions since my first set 8 years ago.  Mainly being that 3rd and 4th on the input shaft are replaceable so if you break a 3rd you just need a new 3rd gear or gears and nothing else.   They also increased the size of the input shaft so the case needed to be drilled.  And oh yeah you can get a dual cone syncrho on first.
