FoT,

Is anyone running a non-British transmission in their racing Triumph?  
Anyone using the HVDA conversion?
SVRA does allow the upgrade with a weight penalty.

Eaglegate is still going but the last time I spoke with them he had sold all his stock of bellhousings and did not have a plan for another run. But you still should check with them. His name is Bill Close but his son may be running it now. At one time he had a huge stock of un-drilled American Racing Silverstone wheels, too.
