I have rung around a few companies over the bell-housing, and found it
WAS a company called ROOSTER RACING, now on UK 01702 601144, who made
them. A Datsun or Sierra gearbox was required. He no longer sells them,
stopping about a year ago, due to low demand!!!!!
BUT....the Morris Minor Centre in Bath, UK, 01225 447659, fax 482265,
sell a very similar kit for the MIDGET, using a Toyota or Sierra 5 speed
gearbox, it retails at £975 for the kit! This sounds very much like the
kit sold in the USA for the midget.
I will keep searching...............
