Hi

I'm in the process of doing similar, (54 and 58 GB boxes) - I'm finding the data and drawing in the Draganfly Ariel catalogue very helpful - it's available as a free download from here:

The rebuild and correct gear assembly is very accurately described in the workshop 1946-56 workshop manual that the club sells.

Hi Brad

I haven't started to re-assemble my boxes yet but I have a lot of photos taken as I stripped the 58 one, if you have orientation / sequence queries I can check them against my photos.
