Help needed - do I have a G50 or G50/50 ?
Discussion
Hi folks,
Having fitted my gearbox I suspect I have a G50/50 rather than a G50 ? Basically, the end of the box is 15mm or so too long for the support bracket to fit. NB The gearbox is flush with the adapter plater and the engine is square on its mounts.
So I can be 100% sure that I have a long box (are all long boxes G50/50 and vice versa ?) do you know how I can tell ? I know that stig's site gives some good pointers and Ultima's manual says that the long boxes have a larger crown wheel, but I have nothing to compare it to.
Box ref is 950/01 74H 06467 if that helps.
Anyone who can talk me through it is welcome to call me on 07753 670227 rather than email back.
Many thanks !
Tony.

Back again !
Dave, pleasure to speak to you and thanks for your help. I have just had a call from Andy at Ultima and you are quite right, it is a G50/01 short box.
In case anyone else gets in this position, Andy asked me to fit the lower bracket and it fits !! The driveshafts are also in the right position. It looks as if the top bracket (standard porsche with the 4 x M8 holes) simply doesn't fit the gearbox at the top. There are a few different types, apparently, and mine is non standard. Andy is going to send me an Ultima bracket which should do the job. In the meantime, driveshafts here we come
Regards
Tony.
