Gear box E-Bay

[alankingston]

I see there is a Standard 4 speed gearbox on E-Bay. The owner doesn't know what model it fits (used as transmission for a drill, apparently!). Can anyone make an educated guess as to what it fits, other than a pillar drill?

Thanks, Alan

A steer to where the gearbox is on Ebay would have been of assistance but I guess its this?

That says the part no is 41136. Well, most of my thirties parts books are out on loan at the moment, but the 1937 Flying Standard Book that I am left with says that 41135 fits Standard Flying 9, 10, 12 and 14. Therefore my educated guess is that a gearbox with the next Part No either fits all those cars in 1938 or the Flying 8 that was introduced in the same year.

When I get the books back, I will be able to confirm. Might be well worn considering the abuse it has been subjected to?

If you expect it to fit your postwar 8, it probably won't do.

As you are in Poole, no doubt you will be at the International Rally at Bovington where we would be pleased to meet you and your car!
