I don't recall ever hearing or reading that Paul ever fitted a Hewland. It has, and so far as I know, has always had a standard ZF.

That's interesting Jack.
I'm sure I've read in several different books/articles that AMGT-2 was fitted with an LG and also had some suspension mods done. Unfortunately I don't remember where I read that but it was before I read "Hawkeye: The rapid and outrageous life of the Australian racing driver Paul Hawkins" Author Ivan McLeod. When I read Hawkeye I was looking for details of the suspension mods but didn't pay much attention to the trans issue. Although I think if any photos or text had shown or mentioned a ZF I would have noticed. There may have been no photos under the rear of course. I got the book from the library, they no longer have it, neither do I! Have you read that one Jack? Great read!
Of course it could be an urban myth that keeps being regurgitated. It would be nice to have this one laid to rest one way or the other. Are there any photos under the rear of AMGT-2 during the Paul Hawkins era? It should be pretty easy to see.
