Ebay Trans Case

The ID plate is on the RHS of the cowl.
Attached are some more pictures.
This was owned by Ted Ruhling.

is the data tag under the seat? I would like to see it parked next to a production to see front roof above windshields and the wider body, I can see the solid wheel covers and steering wheel that must have been to expensive to get to production. Looks like the inside cast window frame was a bit wider. Cant see the shifter lever, do see the flat top rear fender protector's. what a clean example, stunning. The glove boxes seem not as square.

There is a Hand Built Cord in Australia that has Serial No 810 1044 A
It has a banjo steering wheel however I do not know if it is original.
The car has not been looked after very well.

thanks for the link, the first ones were so interesting I have only seen one briefly and it preformed as well as the production model. The firewall was a giveaway and this seems not to have missed anything. I would like to see what a rear sway bar and a rezeppa joint, and a banjo wheel looked like.

In my previous email I made reference tp the detailed article on Hand Built Cords in The Reunion Book No 2 that was printed in 2010 by the ACD Club and which can be purchased from the Museum in Auburn.
In the article the variations are all listed.
Attached is a copy of that complete article by Bill Bicknell.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationthis is a listing for a three bolt carburetor intake, the photo from the hand built case shows a similar intake, it would be nice to see a list of the different parts used in the hand build's, are the thermostat housings cast iron?

Gary it definitely is a very early gearbox case and probably from a Hand Built Cord. It does not have the Interlock hole that you mentioned on the RHS . Also it has an extra bolt on the LHS to hold the reverse idler shaft in place.

I have no idea why the picture ended up on it's side.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI found this trans case yesterday on ebay. I suspect its an early case because it doesn't have the lock pin hole machined into the drivers side. Any opinions?
