Rick: Interesting story! I also have a brand new rib cage gearbox that I
bought on a trip to England in the early 1980s. At the time I was racing a
Bugeye Sprite in SCCA H Production and that was the gearbox of choice. I
never used it and it still sits upstairs in my shop brand new. I belive it
was a Gold Seal 1275 Spridge box.
