Looks great, you could always do my design rear gearbox but using the original gearbox plate design into it, plus dirt doesnt really get in that often with shell and undertray.

Many thanks for the kind words.

Jerzi - If I ever were to race it, carbon would be a good thing. IIRC Lars (Hcp22), built a LWB Optima in carbon for the SWE/NOR vintage races, one or two years ago.

I think I might be a member of that group on FB, I´m just not very active :D


Welshy40 - I´m not sure I´ve seen Your gearbox design, do You have a link to it?
