I decided to make a start on the gearbox. (I can't finish the front suspension until I get a couple of 1/2" nuts).

The components seem to fit well, and I had few problems. The only thing that confused me was the 4 fixings that attach the gearbox to the engine. The top two fixings are 10M X 50mm bolts, the bottom two fixings are a shaft with 10mm threads at either end and a bolt to lock it off. Derek at Caterham was helpful.

I also took the time to give the area between the body and the fuel tank a good spray with Dimitrol to reduce corrosion. To get access I temporarily removed the boot floor.
