Just a short down and dirty explaination of what remains of the lower gearbox. The epicyclic drive is missing. I tried to highlight with "Paint" 4 major areas. Red are the hydraulic servo lower support with the left and right rear supports showing the remains of the lower part of the hydraulic servos. The middle red circle is the forward lower hydraulic servo support. The 2 green circles are the left and right engine inputs. Lime green is the right hand transmission torque transmitter. The blue is the aft portion of transmission / fuselage "BBQ" plate. The purple is possibly the aft float support strut.
VortexRinger: I suspect you are right. I went back to Post #376 from "byeskille", thank you for posting the HD photos. The 2nd and 3rd photos zoomed in show the lower end of the "support rod" clearer. It is clearly not a transmission support rod. The clamps and what appeared to electrical wire on the strut gave me the impression that it was the rh rear trxm strut.
