Paint that looks remarkably similar to rust.
Holes in the floor that Fred Flinstone would be proud of.

mini spares in the UK I think.
But you are looking at about $5000 before freight and taxes though!

ya only need 4

This is probably the only one now that's any good, for a road car- http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=36391
not sure if still available- the blurb is a bit ambiguous.

we ran a 6 speed Dog engagment g/box in my Mk1 "S" a few years ago,,,full race only tho,,,definately not suited to road use at all

Stew has the 2nd one in his 1600cc X-flow sports sedan (#89) featured in the mini world magazine from the Qld mini muster show.

They did cost $10,500 (each) a few years ago & were both made by KG Engineering, (no longer in business)

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

or you can get a suzuki or toyota 5 speed for half that but oh yeah that comes with twin cam 16 valves also and fuel injection all installed
sorry couldnt help myself

did KG happen to sell on their designs?

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

and now the scrutineers are cracking down on them....I don't really understand all the technicalities or why there is a beef ....but (man) they were certainly available in the period.....maybe even through Special Tuning.

Everyone should keep in mind that 5 and 6 speeders are rod change and therefore you may have to modify your floor to use them....if that is an issue

but yes all the UK made ones would be for a rod change.
