Have Hewland will shift, Pics of Hewland trans install n progress Options

[Thorshammer]

Just thought I might pass along these pics, someone was asking what alternative transmissions could be used in a 914. For racing I choose this dog ring Hewland. I have heard Keith Peare at Powertech in NJ has been installing Boxter transmissions.

Any one live near San Mateo, and would be willing to rattle a business owners cage for me. This guy has my parts 5 months (given me fake tracking numbers)and 900.00 of my money and no parts. E-mail me offline if your interested. Any east coast ball busters are encouraged to e-mail. Soccerrace@aol.com

Thanks,

First off thanks for the offer From a fellow 914 owner in San Mateo, I have been contacted by a friend that is stopping by on Monday. Thank you will keep you posted on the outcome.

Thanks for the comments Brad, I have put some money into parts, but the car is not as nice as I really want, should have bought that rust free chassis from you and started from scratch, because what I have had to do to this point was never my intention, I had purchased a running FP car in hopes of doing only a 6 cylinder swap and selling the race FP motor. The more I worked the more I found. My fault! Never buy a car from someone who says they don't know anything about the car.
I talked with Craig Taylor about the Hewland and he said the same thing, unless I wanted to install MK5 layshaft, input and gears, then he said it would last. The motor is small bore 2.0 1mm over SCCA EP car, with the recent weight reduction to 1950 lbs, it is becoming better all the time.
It does not look good for the first race but maybe the second National in my area, then I will be chasing points the rest of the year with hopes of going to the RUNOFFS. Tell Bontempi and Wicker I am sick and tired of seeing little british (no caps on purpose) cars win that frigging race. Bout time they do something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

BTW is it possible to get that Tilton pedal photo, I have some ideas but the clearance is close on a couple areas.

Thanks,
