Who's five speed conversion did you use? Is the car on the road yet so you can provide impressions of the conversion?

Hi Steve,
The gearbox is a CJ 5 Speed, from Classic Jaguar USA www.classicjaguar.com
I bought it indirect from them, from someone on Ebay who gave up restoration.
You need to ;
* buy a flywheel, pedals, clutch cylinders/fluid bottles etc
* adapt the tunnel to make room for the clutch cylinder.
* find the right clutch bearing (didn't came with the set), as there are 3 different types of bearings for E types. You only know if you have the correct one once you mount the engine in it's place. I had to do it 3 times ($#@%&€)
I haven't drive the car yet, it's almost finished.
Ciao,
Koos

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
