I think 150 quid for a sport box is top dollar. I'd be wanting evidence of it being reconditioned for that money.

ok, so that gives me a rough idea, i dont suppose this would bolt up to the m42 that i'm re-building for my conversion to get shot of the dreaded m40 currently in it??? :) :)

Well, the SportBox bolts up to the M20, as does the 260. And the 260 bolts up to an M50, as does the 240 from the M42, then all things being equal, the SportBox would bolt up to the M42.

Wanna sell it?? winkeye
