    BTW the Mag case Jerico is only about 5 pounds more than the TR6 
box. The trouble is the shift linkage intrudes on the left side and 
reduces leg room drastically. Rod wore a big kneepad on his right leg to 
keep the bruises down. If I did this again I would look at rotating the 
box 90 degrees and using the MVE shifter. I would also use the thin 
qualifying gearsets to reduce the weight and rotating mass. Jericos are 
all over Ebay now.

So, convert your left-hooker Triumph back to the Right-Hand Steer that it was 
designed to be all along, end of problem!

As another advantage, if that pesky flywheel should ever come loose, then 
they inavariably head for the Left side footwell...

And what does it matter which side of the car the steering is on if it is a 
track only car? Everyone else is (usually) going in the same direction! Even if 
racecaR is the same spelled forwards or backwards!
