Ian, It looks as if chamfering the edge of the gearbox lid casting at about 45 degrees would do the trick, bringing the edge of the lid casting to knife edge. The main problem would be where the lid bolts to the box on the left hand edge - a bit of ingenuity would be needed. It would be concealed by the starter motor. I did wonder if one could mill a groove in the starter body! I am trying to remember who told me they have seen this done, but can't. Looks like it's a case of being prepared to sacrifice a 4sp. lid to find out. Regards, Stuart.
