Yes, as Bob Haskell stated, Craig Rice in Indianapolis is the man for the r=
ear reflectors and the BN1 synchro rings.=C2=A0 In fact I just ordered a se=
t of three from him last week.
Regarding the reflector pods or plinths, there were two types for the late =
BN1s and all BN2's.=C2=A0 The very first BN1s in the Fall of '54 and early =
'55 had sand cast brass reflector pods.=C2=A0 Soon afterwards, like Feb of =
'55, the pods were changed to aluminum.=C2=A0=20
The attached photos show the original pods from my Jan. 11, '55 BN1. My ref=
lectors were orange and not red. My very original car also had the Austin o=
f England badge on the boot.

Bob,
I sure you're referring to Craig Rice who retired from Allison Gas=20
Turbine here in Indy, not P&W. Craig has also made the syncros for the=20
BN1 gearbox.
Cheers,
