Bmc Newage Vedette mkv11 gearbox info

[macnorton]

I am looking for a supplier of parts for this unit or a sh unit.
It is the old style mechanical one with a brake band and some of the gears have chips in them.

Does anyone have a copy of a manual (already have a parts list) for this gearbox fitted to a 1.1 BMC petrol engine.

Thanks...

I haven't got the exact info you ask for, but this thread from a canal boat forum may have some useful advice, as I think your gearbox would be similar to the ones mentioned?
The Petter engine in my Hillyard also has a BMC Newage box. From memory not much is mentioned in the engine manual, on the gearbox side of things, but I can always have a quick check, when I next pop down to the boat, if it is likely to be of any use to you.

I've a vague idea PRM absorbed Newage at some point so a call to them might help.

Found some info on the gearbox and a copy has been sent to the Thames Vintage Boat Club should anyone else be looking.

If you want to send me a PM with your email address, I have the setting instruction for the forward toggles and the reverse brake band.

Many thanks, we have now got the info and the gearbox is back in and working.
