    No idea what year they are used from but shown in later parts books and save having to wire them up.

    Thanks for the info, "yes" it would save wiring them and they look the part, every day's a school day.

    So the original battered gearbox middle case on the 500 has revealed its secrets and it's now obvious that someone in the past tried to remove the gearbox without taking all the screws out, so i'm now having to measure every bloody item with what figures i have and other parts i know are ok just to do simple rebuild, thankfully as i'm going to be waiting on parts the next engine build is here :)

    New selectors and correct needle roller arrived so the gearbox is back together with the other new bearings and back in the cases :)
