[Healeys] Center Shift Transmission Cover

[Bob Spidell]

There's several for sale on eBay; here's the first of several that came 
up when I searched "Austin-Healey 3000 transmission for sale." The price 
isn't unreasonable; you could part it out and make a profit:

https://www.ebay.com/i/193242855946?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=193242855946&targetid=1068323850470&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9032280&poi=&campaignid=11758020206&mkgroupid=111348621262&rlsatarget=pla-1068323850470&abcId=9300462&merchantid=6296724&gclid=Cj0KCQiAifz-BRDjARIsAEElyGI0sXxtFoGjLqb4YZL1eLHbXXxAUT-FvqUdB-rhSGrdUeI-yCw1RrwaAitjEALw_wcB

I spent $300/ea for a pan and cover (and was glad to get them). I think 
the cases are cast iron, which can be welded but has to be done 'just 
so;' involving pre-heating and other measures. I'd always be nervous 
about a welded case.
