Nice work, and vision.

Will the gear shift rod clear the new style box chassis, i just notice that there are no holes down the centre for a conduit tube?

Cheers. The conduit tube will be cut in (probably shouldn't have left that to last :? ) but will only be 2cm in. With the remaining 1cm above. This fits under the 1cm corrigate in the cargo floor so will be completely invisible but with maximum height. It will be a long tube throughout aswell. Not missing as would be original. The last piece at the back will also need to be linked up to the raised box.

He wants to get a couple of buses quickly finished and out of the way first. But I'm in no real hurry. I know once he starts it'll move on quick and the funds will quickly diminish. So I working hard and saving up at the mo.

Hang in there Rob, I have had to wait 8 months just to do the front end, but you have to wait if you want the work done right. Mine didn't look to bad until it was all unpicked, but the fix was no problem for the guys, but might not have been for othere less skilled etc etc.
