I can vouch for the almost total lack of synchros on the 2nd gear of Mickey
the BabeRally Midget! Other than that it seems to be ok. I also have a
ribcase that I took out of a 1970 Midget. I never heard it run, it looks ok,
I have no way of telling its condition. This one is also available for the
cause if Larry's are found wanting.
