Tried Overton spares in Aberdeen (dyce), the usually have quite a few parts, bit of a trek but worth a try

he told me that they dont have the gearbox for the elx
and he could not help me and that was that.

but i got some info from kilmarnock breakers that each gear box has a letter stamped on the bellhousing and all you have to do is match the letter to the replacement box
the letter on my box is (E)
hopefully this will help people in the future.
