I have finally managed to get my syncro on the ramp to get it ready for the expected bad weather this winter.
Much more work needed that expected.
Lots of welding, new fuel tank straps needed and a possible upgrade to tdi with the Renaul t UN7 transaxle and diff that I have wanted to fit into my bus for quite a few years now.

For those who have not seen the Renaul t 21 Quadra transaxle and diff I enclose a couple of photos.

The main body of the gear box is exactly the same as the UN1 with a longer fatter nose for the prop shaft end.
Once I have attached the adaptor plate and bell housing I will be able to offer the engine and gearbox up into the van and see how much or little space is available for the front end of the gearbox.



Gear ratios are not ideal for low speed off road use, so this set up will not suit all. 7mph at 1000rpm on 215/65 R16. 71.2mph aT300rpm.
