If you haven’t been to Blackhawk Farms to participate in the annual VSCDA Blackhawk Classic, I highly recommend putting in on your list of events to attend. As a spridget racer, this track is one of the most fun tracks I’ve been on in awhile. While there is no...

what are the OD and ID of the .080 waher?
I can do it; but after radiation therapy, handling small parts is difficult for me. Your videos will guide me. Thanks
Do you take customer transmissions for refresh?
@@JoseMartinez-k5u unfortunately, not at this time.
@@JoseMartinez-k5u there are some places that do, though.
@@JoseMartinez-k5u the shipping is also problematic and expensive.
i am refreshing my smooth case box. do i need that brass washer? if so, where can i get it?
@@JoseMartinez-k5u I would recommend it. Any hardware store should have them. Amazon too.
Sorry to bother you yet again, but I have a question that I believe only your expertise could answer. When I disassembled my gearbox, my box did not have the interlock plunger parts (what you show at 40:25 in the video). It only had a short bolt covering the hole. In your video you spent considerable time installing and discussing them. I assembled my gearbox without them, and started looking for the parts here (Moss and others do not stock them). I eventually was able to locate them, however, I cannot install them as they just bind on the shaft and the interlock plunger will not fully seat. I also cannot discern any indent in the shaft where the ball would engage. Am I missing something here or perhaps there are different versions of the gearbox? After I assembled everything and tested it, it seemed to shift fine and work normally even without this interlock plunger. I am afraid of installing the gearbox back in the car (my '56 Lotus Eleven) if I must have the interlock as it is a great deal of work to remove gearbox from this particular car, and I have almost zero access to the gearbox once it is installed. Any wisdom, insights or recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated. I also sent you an email with the parts diagram if that will help. Thank you again for your wonderful videos. I do not think I could have rebuilt it without your videos and your help.
Thank you for an amazing detailed 2 videos. Very helpful.
I love these CARS!!! I had 6 Sprites!!! Great channel!
First let me say that your video is fantastic! Very helpful in learning the details of overhauling these gearboxes. I sourced a brass washer as you suggested for the 1-2 shift rail and when I went to fit it, it interfered with the casting adjacent to 3-4 shift rail hole, so I could not get the washer to sit flat against the case and therefore, even after grinding the washer, it would prevent the fork from coming back to its proper position. One could grind the casting to make it flat, but I chose to leave the washer out. Just FYI.
Insufferable music 🤮
Hi Steve, I have been following your page here, it is a great help, thank you very much! I have assembled the mainshaft and installed the output bearing plate, but: 1) The first gear assembly moves longitudinally a bit on the output shaft 2) I can slide 1st gear into engagement fine, but it will not slide back into 2nd gear without me applying pressure with a screwdriver. I am afraid to continue the assembly at this stage as I am certain something is wrong. I emailed a photo and a link to a 15 second video of what I am seeing to All Things Vintage Racing and hopefully you may be able to tell me what I have done wrong. Thank you again so very much for your help! Your videos are terrific!
Thanks! I got your email. I’m out of town, will be back tomorrow and send you a response. Cheers!
Thank you!
For the trick brass washer on the selector rod, do you only do this for the 1st/2nd selector rod? Thank you again for your terrific video!
Yes. Only the 1st/2nd rod. It prevents over shifting and getting stuck in 2nd gear…or in between 1st and 2nd … which is an inherent problem in the original design.
@@allthingsvintageracing8656 Thank you!
Your two-part video here on the ribcase gearbox rebuild is absolutely terrific! Just what I needed, and what a huge time saver. Thank you so very much for your painstaking attention to detail, both in your descriptions and for the clarity in the video detail.
Martin Ingall’s SebringSprites web page does not allow me to contact or comment. Looks like the comments stopped working in 2016 🤷♂️ Do you know of another way to contact Martin, or advise him of this fault so that he could fix it? I have a short history to tell him regarding Austin Healey Sprite WGP859 🙏🏼
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! Can you help me? I rebuilt a ribcase several years ago - it’s perfect except the lockout detent for reverse on the remote control prevents me from selecting reverse - I’ve had to disable it. I’ve tried reducing spring pressure but it’s either locked out or not protecting from accidental reverse selection. Do you have any advice please? Cheers Todd
i cannot thank you enough. just brilliant
You’re quite welcome…
Well call these. "Ground pounders" 😅
Wow, just wow! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! An awesome video!
Really great and informative videos - Thank you!.
OMG, this is the video I've been looking for. Thank you! As a fellow racer I can't express how much more confident I am to build up a spare box. Thank you again
You’re quite welcome…😎
I just picked up a 1977 Ford Ramptruck. I’m using it to haul my vintage drag cars.
Great training video. Will use for my Spitfire race rebuild. Thanks for posting and explaining
OMG your videos are amazing! I have two of these ribcase gearboxes I need to rebuild and after watching your videos I feel much more confident. New Subscriber. Thank you.
I love to see history like this. The days of simple cars and classic design. I love my bugeye sprite
I'd like to visit a British car museum I have a bugeye sprite with an sbc 383ci I love the car but wish it was original. It gets lots of looks, laughs, and smiles. Hotrodders don't know what to think and british car lovers hate me. Anyone want to trade?😅
I am in the process of rebuilding my 1275 transmission. This is one of the best videos I have seen. Very well explained. Thank you.
Excellent video and instructions. I am about to do this for the first time during winter. Easy to understand and follow. I truly appreciate the explanations. Thank you.
Super interesting video. Great little cars had my midget since 1985.
Saw the other Le man's Coupé race regularly in the early 80s
Solid power, i bet Vizard would be happy with that! Nice work!
Great video set. About to do mine for my Austin A35. Q: What clutch set do you like? Can't quite see the part number on your disc. *Is there an accounting for the gasket thickness when determining the shim thicknesses?
Nice library.
I was part of the Waldron pit crew from Boca Raton. I think this is the car we attempted to run it at Sebring. It was covered with cosmolene and I had the job of getting it ready to paint it. Chris Waldron painted it BRG with yellow stripes as were the 2 MGB's the Waldron team had.
Wow! Yes, it was rebadged as an MG too. I bet it was no fun removing all that cosmolene! I guess the put that on the car for the boat trip from the UK? Do you know Reggie Smith?
What is the place to get a compressor like this
Excellent video, the best on youtube.
Thanks!
Ha! That’s my dad’s Formula Ford group across from you! I found your channel and just clicked this to see if he might have been in some footage. And from the jump there’s that green, white and purple Royale! Love the content!!!!
Thanks! CVAR is a load of fun. See you at the races…
which body number? mine is 8/60 and race ready latest apperance at chgp 2023
Thanks for your comment…like is shown in the video, the is chassis # FJ 9. There is no body number from Cooper, they didn’t do that.
Yeah, That's a cool idea - period ramp truck for for your Shelby! :-)
What a great series, Steve! Please keep us updated on your land speed race car! I've always wanted to attend the Speed Week at Bonneville :-)
The bonnet on the land speed car you have in the other area. What is it and were can I get one.
It’s a speedwell monza bonnet. Call Tom Colby at speedwell. www.speedwellengineering.com/fiberglass/
🤩
Very informative series, well done. Do you know if the MGB gearbox is the same? I am about to tackle that job.
Very similar…most of the same things will apply…
@@allthingsvintageracing8656Thanks and thank you for providing such a detailed look into the gearbox. Cheers!
A fun video and a fun sport to watch. Thanks for the invite.

Dang man we used to tow our vehicles like that with one chain, about ripped the front end off I don’t know how many times, now we use 2 chains with a tire in the middle for a shock absorber
Hi there - just subscribed and this video popped up. I live about 45 minutes from Blackhawk. My son and I drive our Morris Minor there to see vintage racing! Friendly venue - that even has great food! Great info on your channel - we have a RWA Midget too!
Is the big 5 speed gearbox entirely special, or is it based on a production box?
According to what Goeff Healey wrote in his book “More Healey’s”., the 5 speed was not a production unit. It was a special designed for Le Mans. I know of very few in existence. Thanks for your question…
