I'm guessing i know the answer, but anyone here fitted a 6 speed box to a valver yet? Mines just arrived at work, on a pallete.

Hasn't Mandic (BX16valve) done it?

I'd do it if i could have a regular 5spd and purely have the 6th as an overdrive, don't see the point of dragging the original gearing over 6 gears, too much shifting

No, but, I've looked into it, and a bit as Jay said really, although I believe the 6th is taller than the standard 5th in a valver?
The main issues are the reverse gear bollocks cable shit.
Oh, and limiting the steering lock to avoid shredding the tyre on the end plate!
Oh, and IIRC there's some issue with either the drop lonk or ARB or some shit..

Dunno, if I was going to gear the valver up I'd stick a TD 5th gear set in it and forget about it.

Don't you have to carve half on the n/s chassis leg off too?

Erm, dont think so, I believe you just have to remodel the back bit a little?

6 speeds?
4 speeds are plenty. I had a Metro HLS with a 4 speed box, the 4th was the "5th" of the day and was as tall as Paul Whicker.

So was Val Doolican!

He was rather want he.

Didnt he have a major fit about Gay Glitter or was that Roger Whittaker?

That was probably a Ting Tong... or perhaps a small Vietnamese boy...

Well Doolican and Whittaker
Go together like shite and glitter
But Mr Paul Whicker, who is quite alot thicker
than Alan Whicker or the Outback Shitter

erm...........that just means utter none snese

I'm enjoying this! I have had a few Tributes mind, but it all makes perfect sense!

tributes!

Cornish beer, for men, it's not the best beer in the world, oh no, this is just a tribute....

Ah ha, yes, Cornish Tributes, a fine ale.........good for head aches and hang overs and stuff! Made by.......Adnams is it? Cornish beer I find is very good beer but not for the weak of stomach!

Adnams? Imbicile!!!!!!
Tribute is made by the wonderful people at St. Austell brewery!

Ofcourse, my bad, St Austell. Better IMHO than Adnams too but both aren't bad. Cornish beer though, not for the feint hearted. I once had a session in Fowey on a beer caller (and I kid you not) Wreckers and fuck me was I ill!

Fowey, ahhhhhh..
I love Cornwall, and oneday I shall retire there..

Adam's ale is known for being rather watery up here

I love Cornwall, and oneday I shall retire there..

Unless like me Doc you have to learn to live on 1/2 of what you couldn't manage on when you were working.

I cant manage on twice what I'm earning now mate, I'm still going to fuck off down there oneday.. fuck the financial considerations, I like Cornwall and Brizzle is a total shitehole now..

Canal boat mate - tis you!
