Well, my Jensen Healey SCCA racer is coming along nicely. I've rebuilt the motor, got a full spec cage welded in, done a lot of suspension work to beef stuff up, and sourced a huge number of difficult to find parts to get this thing ready for tech inspection.
I have a question though. The Jensen had 4 and 5 speed boxes. Of course I want to use the better ratio 5 speed box. The problem is, this box is the same thing as the Getrag 5 speed close ratio boxes that were found in some BMW 2002s. Unobtainium. Estimates are some 4000 built worldwide, 600 or so that went into Jensens and the rest into 2002s that ordered the close ratio option.
Anyone know of sources of parts for these things, or, places that rebuild them? Better yet, know of one for sale? I'm trying to line up a spare because they are supposed to be fragile. I thought I'd ask if there were any 2002 people here that might be in the know.
Thanks,
Ron
