I've attached a couple photos. The first one shows the different input seal designs that I used when I had my gearbox apart. The seal on the right is the original one that leaked and the seal on...

Driven - I rebuilt my T9 with a BGH close ratio gearset back in the 2005-2007 time frame. Besides the gearset, I picked up parts from https://www.taylor-race.com/, http://batford.net/, and...

The ones in the first two photos look like Lucas L594 (beehive) lights that were used on Bugeye Sprites, MGA's, TR3's and some other LBC's. The chrome ring captures the glass lens into the rubber...

Thanks for the photos Bob, and thanks for your write-up Glen.

Very sad news, I was impressed with her talents and attitude. As the father of a daughter who does a lot of guy things (sport bikes/cars/guns/chain saws/etc) there's always the worry in the back of...
