It's only a general arrangement drawing. If you email Collotti they will send you one for free.

rtec, Do you have the rest of it?
Our member 59Fan runs one in his Mini Pickup.
I had one years ago, but never got it completely working.
They are the only ones I have ever seen.

I have the blueprint but only as size A1 or A0 (?, quite large) and I have some more photos.

Oh no, I don't have a Colotti gearbox. I collected only the pictures.

Very Interesting. I have one of these crazy things that I would love to get rid of. Been working with Simon on a purchase but haven't heard the final word. If he decides not to go for it I will list it on the For Sale section. I am in the States.

I also have one of these as a complete remote gearbox. It has a very low final drive fitted, so low that that the pinion is machined into the main shaft to accommodate the giant crown wheel. I have a spare main shaft as well. The gears are pretty narrow, so I suspect the intended use was a high revving low torque engine installation.
I'm also in USA. I'll take some pics and get them posted soon.

Yes please, interested in what it it looks like.
