New Member intro and overdrive question
Hi,
My name is Terry and I'm located in Victoria Australia. I have two Jags, a 1968 series 2 e-type which is a recently completed restoration and a MK2 3.8 MOD, which I have owned for a number of years. Really looking forward to getting to meet folk on the forum.
I am currently rebuilding the gearbox (4 synchro) and overdrive unit on my mk2. One thing members may be able to help me with is the method for installing the accumulator piston into its cylinder. Access is very tight and I have been unable to work out a method for compressing the rings. I'm sure there is some sort of Churchill tool for this, but I certainly can't get access to one. How have other gotten around this problem?
Cheers
Terry
