WINNER of our 3 guinea prize this VT week is Mr. M. R. Tudor, of Hay Mills. Birmingham. 25. His idea con
cerns the removing of the gearbox from the Albion Chieftain Super Six tractive
unit. •
He says that instead of removing the rear-engine mountings as recommended by Albion Motors he finds that by selecting first gear and removing the gearbox top the box will clear the centre crossmember quite easily.
One Jack Only
Mr. Tudor. points out that this method is particularly useful -when no crane or pulley block -is. available; it requires only one jack, instead of •two, and keeps the enginesteady when refitting. Comments
Handyman: this idea and intend io try it at the first opportunity.
