Hi.
I am about to build a trans for my 38 Knuckle project.
I have a small collection of transmission cases, and lids, and over the years I have been using these lids and cases for different projects.
The transmission case I will be using, has a date code D8 and a brass 5th mount.
When I was running my frame business it swallowed up all my daylight hours and some of my not so daylight hours. This meant I had very little time to work on my personal projects.
Quite often I worked on the “Just in Time” concept for my bike maintainence and building, which isn’t the comfortable way of doing anything.
At one time I used the F8 lid on a spare gearbox while I rebuilt the original gearbox on my 51 Pan. Pictured.
Hence, I have changed the configuration of the shift drums and gears in the lids.
I used to remember this type of information easily, but I think my mind has been defragging, and chucking out information I haven’t called upon for a while.
Anyone know which of these trans lids is 1938?
Both lids are sand cast and one has the part number 33-35 cast in relief.
Both lids have date codes, M8, and F8.
Thanks in advance.
Steve
