Walk through any pit at a vintage race event and see a significant % of cars, of all makes, with these installed. In our club you bump up a category with Weber’s. In 2022 it would be impossible to field a car with ALL Triumph parts inside the engine or transmission. One of the FOT members just let everyone know about new and updated critical parts for the transmission. I sure don’t consider those to be cheater parts. I recall Kas telling stories about total engine rebuilds after every bloody race with stock TR parts. You know, back in the day when he had a key to stock room of every part that Triumph supplied and it was his full time job to field a car. Modern parts and oil keep our vintage cars on the track for seasons between rebuilds. If it is not against the rules in the club you race in, it is not cheating.
