The most important thing is that it's done properly by someone that knows them well, otherwise it might be an improvement, but won't be as good as it should be. Typical cost will be from around £1500. Unit 11 www.unit11.co.uk know them very well, but you'll have to get the car transported up to them (£300? if it can't be driven) or the just the box (£40? on a pallet).

Paragon should know what they're doing (Mark just won the Porsche Club Championship in an early 3.2 with 915 box), or otherwise County Classics in Kent.

From £1500 is about right - thats what it cost to do the 'box in mine (just prior to my ownership). Mine was done by Steve Bull and I haven't had any issues with it at all. Once the linkage was set up properly, its been a joy to use and taught me that these 915 boxes aren't actually as bad as all the 'press' would have you believe.

give Mike Bainbridge a call ( admittedly not on your doorstep )
