SIII reverse stop hinge

Dec 13, 2005 8 Replies

The sprung hinge that engages reverse broke on my 1973 SIII 88". Unfortunately the spare gearbox at the end of the garden has a different screw hole position where it attachs onto the rear selector rod.



Please enlighten me. My SIII has the two holes horizontal, the spare box has two holes positioned vertically. There is no mention of the different types on Paddock/Craddocks websites. Anybody know the part numbers?



Cheers for any help offered. David.

Cheers, is that the number on top of the transfer case, or the chassis number? David

It's the gearbox number - I'm having a senior moment as to whether Series boxes have seperate numbers for the transfer box......

One serial number for the whole box including transfer I think, situated on main gearbox top cover, right hand side up to and including Series 111 suffix A, then on top front edge of transfer box subsequently.

Thanks very much. I wonder if my brother will be able to find it in the dark and covered with oily mud. David

Brother found a number on the gearbox. It was a cast number (not stamped) and read upside down - FRC1809VF3

This looks nothing like the ones that Richard quoted. Does it make any sense to the knowledgeable people out there?

Looks like you've found the part no. of the gearbox casing.

That's a part number - probably a pre-production one that never made it into the parts system - it doen't apprear to be valid.
