Sounds good I'll give you a run I'll be happy if I can get a 10.5sec pass from good old Buz.
I'll let you know how I go when I have a test run at Gunnedah in a couple of weeks.
Well mine is an old 6volt gear box and the bell housings been grinded away to fit the 1916 with a 12 volt flywheel in and an old standard vw clutch
out of another bug

Rose , you need to through away all the extra weight . Bumbers ,interior ,side glass, anything that isn't used for racing !Less weight will look
after clutch and box !
Having fun is what it's about .

Comes down to the skill of the driver as well
I wouldn't mind taking it up to Gunnedah at the end of the month to give the v8 boys a run.

Yippee.
