This is Part 2 of a 2 part series on how to assemble a Spridget (Mg Midget, Austin Healey Sprite, etc) Ribcase Gearbox.
It will give you all the details you need to take the rotating assembly you built in the Part 1 video and put it completely together into the case with all the small detent balls and springs and other gizmos that goes inside the gearbox.
