6 OF THE BEST

We have now developed a 6-speed gearbox and sequential gearchange for the 5/6 speed gearbox. (Sequential is like a motor bike change, all in line and not "H" shape like the MinL) They will only be made in small batches when required as demand will be very slow.
The original "A" plus design of gears were first drawn up in the 1940's and not put into production until 1980. Although quiet compared to the previous gears of the four synchro gearbox they are much weaker by virtue of the thinner gear pitch.
On the Mini Spares project car we have the old type gears with'S' ratios converted into a 5-speed and it has proved indestructible by everybody who has thoroughly tested the car with its 8-port engine power.
As the ratios were not very desirable for tuned motors, we are contemplating producing a whole new helical cut set of nearly indestructible gears which will be quiet for road use.

WIPER AND MOULDINGS

At the moment we are trying to develop a rear screen wiper that is purpose made for the Mini, unlike all the kits presently available. The lower horizontal door moulding for Cooper and Cooper'S' are being tooled at this moment. Part No. 24A 341/2.

BRAKE UPGRADES

As nearly all overseas Mini Owners wish to update their braking system, we are tooling up the front hubs - or suspension uprights as they are known, to hold the calipers, brake discs and drive flanges we already produce.

MORRIS FLUSH GRILLES

The Morris Mk. 1 Cooper grille has now been made with spotlamp recess holes for flush fitting.
