If you are interested John Kipping catalog shows a complete retrofit package
for the Spitfire (and GT6). The kit included: "reconditioned gearbox,
overdrive, propshaft with mountings. electrics, and all other ancillaries".
I recently purchased a gearbox from them and had it in a week (UPS) at a
fraction of the US sources. If you want I can fax you the pages from the
catalog. The price listed is 395 pounds and a 75 pound core charge. These
prices still have the 15% VAT included so the price is less than listed.
Last time I checked 1 pound =$1.52.
