    Dolomite gearbox

    Is there any way of going back to past for sale items? The reason I ask is I bought a special Dolomite gearbox with a Laycock overdrive built by a chap from Fast Marina and he gave a detailed overview of how he did it. I think it was around 2012 or so. I am putting together a History of my Roadster and this would help me no end. I cant remember the chaps name but was clearly a clever bloke. It is a great gearbox and works really well.
    Thanks.

      I would be prepared to lay a large bet that you spoke to my colleague Chris Weedon otherwise known as MarinaCoupe on FastMarina.
      If it wasn't him, I am pretty sure he would have the answer.

          I think you're right Steve. I spoke to Chris re the new steering rack bushes which I have fitted to my rack. I'm sure he will know. There will be the write up though in past( for sales) if they could be accessed.
          Thanks.

              I think the article you want is from Pitstop Feb 1991 or techtips or from a Marina perspective Chris's own website
