Hi folks, a question about gearboxes for Squares. Are GB6 & GB7 interchangeable for all years of Mk1 and Mk11 please. If anybody has their drive-side exposed please could they please confirm that the mainshaft protrudes +/- 3 5/16'' beyond the edge of the casting? Sorry if this question is too s...
