Jeff. My goodness I had forgoten all about this thread. I have managed to fix my Sable by buying a complete Sablel on ebay and taking off the bits I needed and sold most of the remains. I got back almost what I paid for the doner Sabeland got myself a replacment backgear as well a a few useful spare parts. My Sabel is running very nice now.
Tom. If you join the Smart & Brown Yahoo group you can download the manuals and see many photos of other Sabels. That reminds me I must post some pictures of my Sabel.
Thank guys.
Phil.
