Dear Robert.
My 400 has the usual gearbox Trouble. At first I thought to transform into a Ford Type 9. But it seems to be not easy to make, and is far away from originality. The gearlever is much more back. I therefore want to instal a CR 5 box, maybe with an overdrive for the German Autobahn. Do you possibly have on overhauled CR5 for me for sale, please?
I thank you very much for youe efforts.
With best regards
Peter

Peter,
You could also try Jonathan Bradburn. He has several gear boxes on his website and also advertises on ebay where there is a CR7 box. Also Brian May might be able to help (tel. +44 121 4303767). Best to phone him and he is very helpful. Good luck in your search.
You are right Geoff Dowdle's 400 does look fantastic!! Has it given you ideas?
Best wishes from the far north
Richard
