"just" swap the gearbox... isn't that the heaviest bit Guy? :lol:

The difference in diameter of the tyres is suprisingly obvious :shock:

gearbox is in and brakes done,

been on a road test and got a huge vibration and knocking from the prop.

Looks like the centre bearing mount on the county is modified to lower the rear UJ angle :? :?
