[Spridgets] Ribcase reassembly question

[Mark Haynes]

I know that they are shown (kind of) in figure f.3, my question is, when do
these go in, and do they then get captured by the selector shafts?
The figure is ambiguous at best, so they go between the 1-2 and 3-4, and
between the 3-4 and reverse. If everything is in neutral, then there should be
adequate detents to allow the next shaft to go in, correct? Then why do I see
1/2 of the ball when I put it into the hole between 1-2 & 3-4, with the 1-2 in
neutral?
At the moment, I've got 1-2 and reverse in place, but can't get the balls into
their respective holes and out of the way of the 3-4 shaft.

There is a ball that goes between the 1/2 shaft and the 3/4 shaft and
another ball that fits between the 3/4 and the reverse shaft. These balls
keep you from being able to select 2 gears at once which would be
disastrous. There is also and interlock spacer that goes between the 1/2 and
the reverse shaft. It has the same purpose. These interlock balls and spacer
are installed as you fit the selector shafts.  I sent Mark the Gearbox
section of the manual in anther email. The interlocks  are shown in figure
F3 of the manual.

I finally got around to pulling the ribcase out of the MKII, and doing a
trial disassembly/reassembly of the other, bad (first gear shredded) ribcase
box.
I got all of the way to installing the two balls that are held in by the
bolt/plug from the bottom, but can't quite figure out how they go in, (in
figure f.3 of the gearbox section) I pulled the 3-4 selector rod back out,
and placing the ball into the opening, it only goes 1/2 way in. I'm not
seeing it.
Do the balls go in before the rods?
Rick? Peter? anyone?
