Gents,

Can anyone suggest a gearbox company or individual who has intimate knowledge with these 'boxes? I have been offered a G50 that requires reassembly as the current owners were at some point going to modify it for a car but then threw in the towel and went and bought a different box. I would not normally dream of buying a box of cogs and a housing but the price warrants it at least some research!

Thanks in advance!

The towel was not thrown in.
The box was intended to be modified to fit a maserati 4200 v8. After being messed about it was then decided to go for a ferrari 360 box that came up for sale out of the blue which fitted up a lot better. If that didnt happen we would have the G50 mated to it by now. Nor is it a box of cogs and a bit of a housing. It is a full working low milage box that needs a new front casing as modifying it fell through and as said, another alternative was then sought.
