"Looks good but wrong grill.  B20s first appeared as MY68 with all the minor changes, grill and side indicators are the biggest.   I will swap you the right grill if you like, just drive down here and we can change it over on the spot.   Mark"

"It's just about all back together, any one in Research this afternoon would have known that a 10A fed by twin side draughts was alive.  I tried to engage reverse (accidentally) from first once, lesson has been learnt without damage, hopefully.   Now I..."

"I wish I had just bought a 4 speed for the "accessories", it would have worked out easier.  Anyway I have the required thrust bearing and carrier (thanks to Randy at Nissco) and the 'box is bolted up and in the car ok.  The thrust bearing has a..."

"The next thing I have noticed is the rear mount.  The mount at the back of the 56A  (5 speed) seems to be further from the centre of the output shaft than the mount of the 56 (3 and 4 speed).   Do I need a gearbox mount of any B110 or a GX 5 speed?   Or..."

"Are they 12" mags on the car?   I am looking for some 13" minilite copies for mine.   The car looks very original, no radio even.  It's good it's not a 66/67 as I would be sorely tempted   Mark in Research"

"All,   I now have a 56A 5 speed for my B10 rally car.   The obvious difference between that box and the 56 4 speed in the car is the clutch mechanism.   Can someone suggest a tidy way of making it work please.  Edit in: I didn't get any clutch..."

"I can't agree re any early (is there a better name) 1000 having a 4 speed in Victoria from new.  Every early car I have ever seen had a 3 speed or evidence of having had one, I've got two in my shed at the moment (well they've been there for several..."
