Looking for gearbox parts and where to get cologne v4 assembly information/manual.

[DavidGalea]

Specifically looking for the part that has the shifter forks and selectors(see pic)..the gearbox is the type H or F depending on the literature. it is the external linkage gearbox.. also any leads/ name of books regarding an assembly manual for the v4 cologne, i can't find much.

I took the gearbox to a repair shop and they broke the corner off the part by tightening too much.. they also used a sheet of paper from a calendar as a gasket and didn't notice that 3 synchro hub assembly teeth fell to the bottom of the case. I'm currently rebuilding the gearbox myself.

I would really like to replace the broken part (I get very irritated every time I think about it) and it will be on my mind every time I use the car..last resort I will weld it with a nickel rod or braze it with silicone bronze. thanks

Try asking on http://www.scimitarweb.co.uk/sgwrs/index.php
Those gearboxes were used on Scimitars from 1972 onwards and are quite common
