I thought that the 210 transmission went with the 1275 engine and there
is a kit supplied by Rivergate. The 1500cc engine can use either
a Spitfire OD unit or a Ford T9 transmission (from a Mekur (sp?))
and there is a kit supplied by FrontLine Spridgets. I think those
are the most common options if you want to keep the original engine.
Is there another game in town?

PS. I like the Frontline kit but it is pricey and I am not sure about
the availability of trannies in the states.
