And I hope everyone notices that there was no response tot his request
although a number of people asked for the name of this particular supplier.
I find it very interesting that something as mechanically complex and
rare (I doubt that even 5% of Spitfires came with one and a majority of
those have probably already seen the inside of a crusher) as an OD/tranny
is considered worth so little while I was just quoted a price of $100 for
a stock exhaust manifold which is little more than a big hunk of cast iron.

Go figure.
