[quote=Robert McDermott;6144]Lewis,
I don’t think that it is a good idea to fit any other gearbox to your HRG, in particular a box of modern non-British make. It is not in the “spirit” of the whole concept of an historic sports car.
I would agree in a good Concours standard car, but with racing a lot of non standard things are fitted and increased wear and tear demands parts that can be replaced as economically as possible. I don't see how sticking an overdrive box from a Triumph or Volvo is any more acceptable than using a Ford box. However the upgrades that McDermott engineering offer sound fantastic ! I wish I knew someone in the UK that could do these upgrades on two 85 engine boxes I have.
