Mysterious to me, but to Him it's slightly less so. It's not inside the Minx yet. He has complaints about one thing and another, but thinks it will work more smoothly in future. I have to help him now by working a jack. (Scares me to pieces! Him under car and me working jack! Augh!). I'm away from the jack now. So far so good. I would call those long rods transmission rods, but that's probably incorrect. They're pretty, though, whatever they're called, but I like the gears best. The car is 58 years old, or maybe 58 1/2. I don't think this is the first time the transmission's been apart.
Now if the rubber windscreen seal comes, that will be ducky! Especially if it's the right rubber. I think He described it as "snakey". A convoluted shape. Certainly not straightforward. Unless I'm making this all up, but why else would he have to special order it from England? He just wants to get the car out of his motorcycle shop!
