Today's job was to make the gearbox meat the engine, the input shaft was too long, i needed to turn down the shaft to 15mm and shorten it, started bay welding a nut to the input shaft then used short length of all thread to leave my shelf room to work at the end i simple screw in a 405 wiper motor, then used couple heavy scrap pieces to hold it in place, then i use my angle grinder to make a parting line where to stop, then switch to a grounding stone used it to remove the teeth, then switch to a flop disk to get a better finish, than switch back to the cutting disk to cut the excess while it was turning, at the end switch back to the flap disk, put the box in 1 gear one hand on the output shaft to turn the box in the other grinder to make the end round, i'm satisfied ti turd out much better than it should have turned especially done by hand, after that the gearbox marriage to the engine right, the clutch release bearing seems to be right, and one bolt hole seams to be close enough to be used , then i mark the gearbox again to cut it back more and i cut it, installed the peugeot flange and marriage the engine and box again, they don't meet perfectly but they are close enough, that's enough for today, next job to line them straight and clean them for welding.
