As TP messaged me last night. They don't like being sat there.
Been painting today so not jumped on it yet.

Long shot but I'll ask on here anyway.
For the gearbox conversion I need to borrow a VW tool, numbered T10309A. Its a sleeved gear puller system for 5th and 6th on the input and output shafts for 02S gearboxes.
Laser 7501 is an equivalent. About £300 to buy.

Arrived today, the Holset cast 2.5" exhaust down pipe back plate from our friends in the East. Saved a few pennies compared to the Cummins Service centres in the US, US custom fab shops, eBay and Amazon. Onwards ....
Working on the gearbox tool having found a manufacturer in Taiwan.

All the usual benefit candidates can be lined up here with some unusual unkowns Jim ....
Crash tested as a VAG oem seat base and swivel. The reassurance is sublime. So sleeping is greatly improved ....
Quality design, mechanism and function it's not made of processed cheese and reel bobbin bearings.
Me at 120kg I've never found an aftermarket swivel that's lasted longer than a year without needing a repair, spring, cornering wedges or shims or simply becoming scrap Frisby material.
It rises and falls with the swivel function so does allow taller frames to choose a seat height.
You can mount the 3 point seat buckle to them, so adding an alternative non-oem seat retains the safety, rather than relying on the aftermarket fixing offered by Cowboy & Sons fabricators.
Whilst you loose your stowage , or 2nd leisure battery stowage etc ... using the folded steel seat base, this type opens up the cab floor, so you'll never loose your part sucked Wurthers / fig whilst driving, filming or wolf whistling your date.
Mentioning dates leads to one of my favourites, they allow close and more intimate contact and sexual acts, so he, she or your flat capped ferret can work their way around your shorts and groin far more comfortably.
Plus, they are exceptional value for money and don't devalue, so increase the ka-ching "T4shed" for insurance purposes when your shunted in the tunnel!
Lastly ..... but not least, they really do swivel to reduce the ageing process, make the skin smoother and probably, they are the best seat base in the World.

Recently (a few months back) I got planning permission from the Mrs to add a covered gazebo attached to the large shed.
So the wheel barrow gearbox workshop has been upgraded to several metres of work space and bench area. The wheel barrow is still in use , currently used for the 02Q 6 speed returned from Regs'.
Lots more to do of course.
