Thanks Lionel,
I'd love to know where you got the miscellaneous bushings for your shift linkage. There's not a single one in mine and the slop is horrible. I was figuring that I'd have to make my own, but if you know a source, that would be very helpful.
I'd love to have Marcos rebuild my woodwork, but that would mean shipping it back and forth across the atlantic. It isn't all that bad - mostly just some worn/rotted areas around the differential. But, I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and if it isn't right, It will always bother me.

Hi Bob
Hello from france (3/5344) , a wood chassis as yours that i use everyday
(except on snow!) .Good luck for your rebuilt .
Mine had the wood work rebuilt by MARCOS in 1985 .
I have rebuilt the gear linkage of the Zodiac gearboxe, it's perfect now, I
have also change the diff. for a 3.54 as i will fit a 3.1 tuned essex ( 200
cv with the 40 DFI 5).
If you need any advice, no problem.
