Christmas is Early

We just got a "special Delivery" in time for Christmas, our new 3rd & 4th gears for the '53 & '54 Plan B gearboxes.
Although not too much has been happening in the workshop lately due to the -8ºC weather conditions, maybe that will change now ;-)
These gears were really made with the Le Mans Classic in mind, for going down the Mulsanne .......... at 5500 rpm we will pushing more than 200km/h
We are looking forward to seeing how the perform in the Cannonball.....

  1. I would like to change the gearing of my '57 split case transmission. Where can I find custom gears?

  2. I would like to change the gearing on my split case transaxle. May I ask how you went about finding these gears? Were they custom for you, or were you able to find "off the shelf" gears that would fit?

    Cheers,
