Comet Reverse Box

what do you mean "how they hook up" ?
it's fairly simple really
the longer shaft takes the comet driven unit (series 40 for example)
and a bearing (as a shaft support, the gearbox itself is too weak to do so in its own)
the shorter shaft takes a sprocket that in turn connect via chain to the axle.
the lever controls forward neutral reverse and should face up
(that way the gearbox essentially sits behind the engine , not offset)
here's a quick guide (incl a drawing of the setup)

If memory serves me the shifter has 2 cables which means you could mount the shifter anywhere you want to. Upside down - backwards - on the roof - in front it shouldn't matter as long as the two cables reach.
