Don't get me wrong, Brice. I am perfectly happy with my crash box. It is, after all the one that was originally fitted to the car. After nearly 115K miles and 90 years, I suspect that it could be refreshed by fitting new bearings, but, while it is working and giving no trouble I intend to leave well alone. Besides, as I said in my previous post, the gearing is well suited to the local terrain. My original enquiry was simply to understand exactly how the gearbox worked should I ever have to work on it, something that is not apparent either from the parts list or or the section of its overhaul in Doug Woodrow's excellent book.
And, of course, it is a lovely drawing!
