This started me thinking........
Wouldn't it be possible to machine a syncro setup for first gear on
the ribcase trannys? Seems like there would be quite a market for such
a beast. Any machinists out there ever try this?
And how about a stronger heater motor also? (I feel the beginnings of
a new business starting here ;-)
Just curious,
