I had actually called XK's unlimited a few weeks back to inquire about their
5-speed conversion for the sprite. They are reselling it from 'Conversion
Components" in New Zealand. The price they quoted me was ~$2100, and you still
had to get your drive shaft modified. It really sounds like the Rivergate kit
is
a much better deal, and you only need the change the yoke on the drive shaft.
