I did a test fit of the gearbox on the engine and that went find but when rotated there was a point where it would 'stick'. Not stop completely but like something was catching or hitting. On taking it apart it seems like one of the taper pins on the pedal shaft was sticking out more than the other and that was just catching the toggles on the way around. I filed it down a little. The box had to come off again anyway since I remembered I need to make a windage tray and that's much easier with the engine tipped up onto the flywheel end so I can easily reach the bottom end.
It amazes me how little clearance there is on some of these parts. Like inside the gearbox the clearance between the layshaft and the casting lump inside the box where the end of the reverse shaft fits.
Are there also different clutch pedals? The shaft on the gearbox has a cutout on it, as if it is keys to something, but the pedal I have is simply round with a split and a lock bolt in it.
