Gearboxes
Currently in production and available soon are our replacement gearboxes and cases for the
Classic Hewland FT200 and FG400.
Here you can see the first of the cases back from machining.
Towards the end of 2010 David Gathercole acquired the pattern-work for the
FT200 and FG400 gearbox main cases, side plates, bearing carriers and finger housing
and has now cast these in high quality magnesium.
The first batch of castings have been machined and are being checked
and will be available for sale very soon.
Many old cases have been welded time and again to keep them serviceable -
we are delighted to be able to offer the Historic market place an alternative.
We are also pleased to offer complete gearboxes, orders for which are now being taken.
These gearbox cases and internals have been cast and machined under our careful instruction
using the same foundries, machine shops and the best materials
as used in our highly successful FVC engines, metering units and fuel injection systems.
Check back soon for more photos and details.
