Again, thank you Gentlemen for the kind words!
This club and forum is an inspiration to A2 owners.
It's a privilege to have met Tom here in Holland, indeed in times of freedom...... Hope these times will return soon and that everyone here will stay healthy, strong and/or will survive this awful virus.
To be back on topic @sco, the cut away piece on the gearbox was, err, lets say "generous".....
I prepared the box from information found regarding other bluemotion boxes on the internet, that are altered the same way.
Now, if I did it again I would leave more material present.
A case of being to eager and not doing a dedicated research, mea culpa.
Although it seems very fragile, I can say that in my opinion the casing/bung is still strong enough, and the bracket on top is bolted together with 3ea M10 bolts, which gives strength to the whole assembly too.
This a picture of the aft side;
If it will not hold it will be a shame, and I will let you all know, no holding back from my side if it goes ugly!
But I hope it's staying in one piece.
Menno.
