john fox Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I need to check my Fox gearbox using the depth gauge method (I'm making a gauge up myself), please would someone confirm if the depth settings (dimension X) listed in the Ferret EMER as correct for Fox as well given that the Fox gearbox is not interchangeable with a Ferret one Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Quite a lot of the Fox gearbox parts, certainly the rotating ones, are the same as Ferret. We stripped and repaired one and managed to get the bits we needed from Banisters. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post war snobbery...........no such thing here, 1930's to present day is my motto :tup::......been on a C8 today :shake:.........:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
