[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 634633, member: 13810"] It’s an 002 gearbox which insinuates that it’s from a1600 type 1 bay window motor but the ears were standard on these boxes after 75 I think so I’m guessing it’s a late bay1600 box and you shouldn’t need the ears unless anything else has been changed. They ran this set up virtually right through the whole bay window range but most liked the 1700 and 2000 motors when they came out. If it was me, I’d pop a jack under the box and another under the motor and pop them earhole bolts out then gradually lower the jacks. I’m willing to bet it don’t drop more than twenty mill, then have a good look at every little thing like your shaft angles etc. Then get the jacks out completely while you’re stood out from under and give the van a good rock from side to side, then get the jacks under again but not more than almost touching but make sure it is safe then wiggle it again. Do what you need to do with your starter then either run it like the rest of us or nail back up by the ears. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,nice colours tooooo. :) [/QUOTE]
