Records are pretty scant on exact change dates since BL did a runner back to UK.
Rod change was intro'd in 73, definitely not 72. Not sure when the Oz made 1098 motors finished- there may have been some put on rod change boxes. I've got one like that here now (out of 13secmini's) but I dunno if it's original or on a later 998's box. It's all painted black.
The 1098 (maybe Mini-K but early Clubbie, I think) remote boxes I have both have a 3.647 in them, and green paint.
All rod change boxes I've stripped have had a 3.44 diff.
So, y'all go figure...
Count the teeth on CW/P if you're not sure.
18/62 is a 3.44, 17/62 is a 3.647. No these 2 crown wheels are NOT the same even though they have the same tooth count..
