the rust bucket was built.


Hey Bud,
Not one of the OD gearboxes I mentioned are original to my  Triumphs.  I 
converted all of them from regular 4 gear boxes.  So my  cars would not 
reflect when the A-Type Bangers were replaced by the Slurrers.  Which brings me 
to 
ask a question:  Why did any fool buy a new  Triumph w/o OD?  They were 
like an $85.00 option.  What a shame they  were not all built with OD.
