<div dir="ltr">I second Dave Hubbard. Dave rebuilt the lower a-arms for my Bugeye. He fit the kingpin with tight spacers on both sides of the kingpin where there were originally cork washers that were always gone by the time you got around to greasing the
pivot pin. This made a solid internal space to keep the grease in place. He also re-enforced the threaded tube for the pin and put grease fittings on both ends for complete lubrication. He knows his stuff!</div>

<div dir="ltr">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
<u>inexpensive</u>. $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!!!

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

</div>
<div>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!</div>

I did it last year (gearbox + OD). There are lots of helpful videos on <br>
the 'net, esp. Magnus Karlsson's:<br>

Plus, a lot of people on this list and various forums were helpful as <br>
well. For the most part, there are no 'special tools' required (mostly, <br>
just a selection of big hammers ;).<br>
<br>
There are a few gotchas, if you endeavor to undertake this, I would be <br>
glad to fill you in on what I learned (the hard ways ;)).<br>
