Hi Guys
Need help identifying the gearboxes I have been given with my part built Locost.

Engine 1.6 Pinto and Axle is Sailbury type A
So I think the drive train may be EX Capri

Gearbox 1
NB 79
624 525

71W6 7006 KA ( not sure about first No 6 )

Gearbox 2
IF 14
833T 7006 AA

71B8 7006 JD ( the B may be an 8 )

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks
RD

Photos of the gearboxes would be easier to identify, if you have access to a camera?

4 speed or 5 speed?

What do you think ?

Rocket isn't a gearbox type it is a set of close ratios that are fitted in the Type E gearbox as fitted to the original RS2000.

Likewise the 2000e and Bullet were semi-close and close ratio gear sets that were optionally fitted to the Mk1/2 Cortina or type 3 gearbox casings.

A close ratio or semi-close ratio gear set such as the Rocket, Bullet or 2000e is worth having. in a light sports car.

Only way to tell if you have a rocket gearbox is to check the 1st and 2nd gear ratios by counting input and output shaft turns.
