It's all good, there was enough of the roll pin left to locate the shaft in the casing. I would imagine that's all it's there for as it doesn't look very strong. Any load bearing must be taken by the bolt at the top, so I'll leave it at that. The shaft off the spare box didn't work, the box locked solid with that installed.

Well found Ally
Funny that, I had thoughts that the problem might have been connected with the reverse idler..
Never seen a reverse idler like that before!!!!
When I saw the reference to roll pins I was thinking at first you were speaking of those in the selector mechanism...
Back on the road tomorrow then

Good news.....ran the car up on the axle stands through all the gears and no unusual noises Another couple of hours to put the brakes back on and sort out a few other things and she should be good to go!

Terrific thread, particularly all the pictures. Great to to get such a relatively quick resolution to what was a very complex ( to me, and probably many others ) problem. I was on the edge of my seat for much of it... will he , won't he, will it, won't it !!! A real rollercoaster.
Big congratulations

Thanks guys Glad to hear I'm not boring everyone! Before I got the 405, the most complicated thing I'd done to a car was put petrol in it. So if anyone is thinking that they wouldn't be able to do something like this, well you probably could. Just break it down into small steps and try and do a little bit every day. Before you know, it's done

Quick update, 1,300 miles since the work has been done, car running great. Did an oil change on the box today to flush out any crap, this is what came out:
Seriously nasty stuff. I cleaned everything in the main casing in parrafin before putting it back together, kind of wish I'd taken the diff apart and cleaned that as well! I don't know what on earth has been put in this box in the past I'll do another change in another 1,000 miles or so and keep flushing 'till all the rubbish is out.
