[Healeys] Gearbox/Overdrive Rebuilds.

[Curtis Arndt]

Didn't mess with it as haven't rebuilt one for 45 years.  My Sprite
gearboxes (a Smoothcase with Ribcase internals, and a Ribcase) went to Dave
Hubbard North of LA, one of the best in the USA if not the world and
*inexpensive*. $650 USD for the Ribcase rebuild and that included the
core!  My original numbered Smoothcase with NOS Ribcase internals was
around $900 USD total complete!!!

Dave only works for people he likes and that come highly recommended, so
don't ask.

BN1 and a BN2 to Eric Grunden of Absolutely British.  Definitely NOT
inexpensive but worth every penny!  $5K+ for each.  Both are like new with
a lot of NOS parts!

I'm getting too old for this.

Cheers,

Curt
