Locating pins for 1978 mc5 250

[davemcmanus]

Does anyone have a set of locating pins for the shift forks during assembly? Or specs so I can make them.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I just put an engine like yours together. You can do that also without the locator pins (I didn't have them either). Have a look on the assembled transmission and crank shaft:



At that stage you can put the right case over the various shafts. Once you lower the case to the level of the shifters you can use a small screw driver and move the pins into the right location using the holes drilled into their ends. I used a plastic covered screw driver so I wouldn't scratch the surface of the holes in the case. This is actually not too difficult to do without the locators.

Cheers and good luck!

Andreas
