AEC MILITANT Mk 1 or II, GEAR CHANGE LINKAGE

Dear All,

 

I have got to re-fit the gear link between the gear stick and the main gear box on a Militant.  It was not easy to get off but it had suffered a fatigue crack.  The crack is now welded up.  Can the floor plates be lifted to access the gear stick end of the link?

Hi John

it is many years ago since I was working on Mk1 Militants but by recollection was that the rod had a flange on the gear stick end with 3 bolts in it, the holes were slotted and you had to hold the lever in a particular gear position before tightening bolts. I had a feeling that it was accessible down the side of the engine bay. Forgive me if I am wrong as this was around 45 years ago !
