Spurred on by another thread I finally got going and have begun renovating my gearbox, however upon disassembly I noted that there is quite a bit of wear on the tips of the 1st/2nd selector fork. These selectors seems to be hard to come by, but I have spotted one brand new but it does not come with the shaft, I believe they were sold as an assembly.
1. Would anyone have any experience/recommendations on how to (or don’t bother) remove either of these two pins from the selector shaft in order to fit a new selector?
2. Any thoughts on building up the existing fork at the tip where it contacts the synchro ring, I would imagine that these are cast bronze and would have similar melting point to brazing and therefore impossible to add material to the face?
3.Would any other Landrover LT77 selectors fit such as FTC1490 looks very similar (it’s cheaper too) and perhaps with a bit of fettling would fit?
Round Pin located in 5th gear casing looks to be the easier to replace. Is it tapered?
